Could you show me an electrical drawing of a circuit with GFCI protecting a switch?
GFCI's are not used to protect a switch they are used to protect an outlet where something is plugged in.
What is the difference between single pole switch and a three way?
A single pole switch controls a light or outlet at one location. A 3 way switch controls a light or outlet from 2 locations.
What is the PEC requirement regarding the standard heights for switches and outlets?

How do you disconnect a light switch and outlet that are tied together?
If there is a black wire going from the outlet to the switch and the other side of the switch goes back to the outlet then just cut these wires and connect supply wire directly to outlet. If the supply goes to the switch first, disconnect from switch and connect the two wires with a wire-nut. Some situations only switch one of the two outlets in a duplex device. Do the same thing, but also replace the outlet since the strapping between both outlets has been removed.
Can you wire a switch from an electrical outlet?

Why does the light switch not work to an existing electrical outlet?
Could be a loose connection somewhere, or a bad switch, or a bad outlet.

Uh, because you left the switch on for what you had plugged in to the outlet.

Can you change an electrical outlet into a switch for a light?
Sure. For a light you need a fixture to hold the light and the light itself. The light needs to be connected to a voltage supply which you can get from the outlet. In the outlet box you will have a black, white and bare ground wire. Essentially you connect the white and bare wires directly to the light and switch the black wire (hot) through a switch.

What is a wire splice box?
Wires are not to be spliced or otherwise connected except in an approved electrical box. The box should be accessible, such as an electric outlet or switch box. If you decide to NOT use the box as an outlet or switch box, make certain that you use a blank cover.
