Actually they have 3. A round ground, wide neutral, and narrow hot. If it only has 2 it is an old outlet with no ground wire. If that is the case in your home, I highly suggest you connect a jumper wire from the ground screw to the white neutral wire on the silver screw to provide some protection. Do this at every outlet in the home. Replace all the outlets in your home with new ones if they are so old they do not have a ground connection.
