According to Tony :
Even after spelling and gramatical corrections, that's linguistically and technically wrong, not to mention just plain silly.
Even if the neutral was carrying current, you're not going to get a shock between the neutral and ground because the voltage difference between the neutral and ground is at most a volt or two[+]. This is true even in a 120V circuit pulling 15A.
Remember, the neutral and ground are connected together in the panel. They're never going to be more than a volt or two different. Unless something goes very wrong.
The neutral in a 3 wire 240V/120V circuit only carries the difference current between the two hots. If it wasn't and currents added on the neutral, then 3 wire 240V/120V circuits would be illegal. I assure you, they're not. In fact, up until a few years ago, they were _mandatory_ in the Canadian electrical code for kitchen counter outlets (and used to be fairly common practise in the US). This has only changed in Canada because of new requirements for GFCIs on kitchen counter outlets, and GFCI'ing split duplex receptacles requires expensive dual GFCI breakers.
If the hots are equal current, the current in the neutral wire is _zero_. Not only that, but the voltage between neutral and ground will also be _zero_[+].
[+] presuming of course that the neutral and ground are properly connected to where they're supposed to be - connected together at the main panel.
