Let me try at clearing this up. The only thing different about a pitch that hits the ground before getting to the plate is that it "cannot be a called strike". Everything else that could happen on a pitch is still in effect.

Nice try, but if the batter swings at a pitch that hits the ground it can be called a strike.

I think what vhs was saying is that it cannot be called a strike after hitting the ground. The batter swung at the pitch, therefore not called a strike but was swung at by the batter, therefore a swinging strike.
A pitch that hits the ground and then enters the strike zone cannot be called a strike!
