Change the outlet to a grounded one. Get an adapter that goes from 3 prong to 2. Break the ground prong off. Any one of these will work.
You can do it, on the four prong plug you have 2-hot(120v+120v=240v) 1-neutral 1-ground, on a 3-prong plug you have 2-hot and 1-neutral but no ground. on old electrical systems the neutral and ground bar were wired together. and that system worked fine,now they are isolated. There are no adaptors to do this you will have to change the oven pigtail with a four prong one and use 2-hots(black and red wires) and connect the neutral (white wire) to the green ground wire and attach the green wire to the metal body of the stove or change wall outlet to a four prong (although this is not recomended) you'll have to see if your panel has a isolated neutral bar. Best left to the pros as one wrong touch will give you a one way trip to the pearly gates. Hope this helps. p.s. I've found most ovens will have instructions on how to connect ether pigtail to it ,if its old hop on the net go to mfg.website put in model # usually there are installation manuals avalable.
My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.
If electrical plugs had only one prong, nothing would happen. Electricity would not complete a circuit. Nothing would work.
Buy a new receptacle that your plug fits in. You probably need one with a neutral so look for 125/240v.

A qualified electrician should make the change to a dryer connection. The best way to cheaply make the change is to change the power cord on the dryer to the three hole standard.
Sure i do
Because there is no path for the electricity to return with only one prong. Electricity needs a complete path to flow through. If you were to grab a hot prong and the electrical source then that would work, but I don't recommend it.
fine

Ambidextrous people can change hands without realizing it so they may use their fork in their right hand one time and then in their left hand another time.
One of the prongs on a fork is called a tine.
a cake fork
No. You will no longer be getting the correct voltage to the appliance. It should be replaced before using again.
