I see someone is used to new construction (actually it is grounded to the rest of the house/a grounding rod)
My house is over 100 years old so, no, I'm not used to new construction. I'm just used to working with Romex since we had our entire house rewired once we moved in. There's still some old knob-and-tube we need to decommission in the dining room but almost everything else is now Romex. One of the kitchen outlets (running the toaster) is grounded to the conduit but that's grounded to the water supply along with most of the basement, everything else is grounded to the grounding rod.
