Time warp time

My 8 year old daughter was recently testing me out on some of the whodunits in her Scholastic Two-Minute Mysteries and Still More Two-Minute Mysteries paperbacks. Though they aren't that old (the latter volume originally published in 1971, I believe), in one respect they have become quite dated. Quite a few of the solutions are based upon the presumption that certain persons -- a professor, a secretary to a corporate president, etc -- simply would not make gross errors in spelling and grammar. . . .
