I think a common mistake with not understanding positive ground is just that folks over-think it.

Other than polarity, wiring, testing and trouble-shooting positive ground is no different than negative ground.

We are so used to think that the "hot" lead has to be positive. Well if positive is ground then the negative side is the "hot" side. Just remember that when using a volt meter to test, put the red (+) lead to ground and use the black (-) lead to measure voltage.
