On polarized receptacles the short slot is the hot side and the taller slot is neutral side. Colors can be swapped around sometimes. If they all are reversed, it is because the line is reversed somewhere, and all of the following outlets "downstream" from that one are reversed. Could even be in the main panel, if everything on the circuit is reversed.
