Two prong, potentially
ungrounded outlets were history in the early 1960's. Ground is always
present
unless some idiot disconnected the wire.
Not at all. Grounded outlets were required on all new installations from the
'60s all right, but many houses are older than that. New work has to be
done to the new code, of course, but there's no requirement to upgrade old
wiring just because it's old. Many houses in my area (Ventura Co., CA) still
have the old two-pronged outlets.
