Our first church lost power at the outlets down one whole side and lights in the bathroom and my office as a result of the lazy approach of pushing the wire in the backs of the outlets.
I have a friend that is an electrician. He always uses the screw terminals. Says he knows the connection won't work loose if he screws it down tight.
