Just talked to my dad and he said to look where you attach the wires’ black is hot, white is neutral. The screws should be bronze color and silver color. The black attaches to the bronze screw, the white to the silver screw.
Ding Ding Ding Thats correct!
Black to brass, white to silver
assuming the outlet is wired properly
Correct, and the earth ground lug will almost always have a green colored screw in a typical plug end like this.
I would wire hot (black) to the Bronze colored lug and neutral (white) to the silver lug with the silver screw and leave earth ground empty as it is not needed for a two prong connection.
Better yet, just get a 2 prong plug with a polarized prong (wider prong for neutral).
