* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Played with as far as the Mrs Ws go. We never find out what exactly they are (Mrs Whatsit was a star once, but we don't know what she really is ''now''). At one point, though, Calvin describes them as angels for lack of a better description. Also, the first sequel, ''A Wind in the Door'', features Proginoskes, a [[InsistentTerminology cherubim]] who is much closer to [[Literature/TheBible Biblical]] depictions of angels than anything else you're likely to see in fiction, though he self-identifies as a ''plural'' creature.

* OutdatedName: Mostly averted, but double-barrelled first names like Charles Wallace's were far more common in the mid-20th century when the book was written than they are in the 21st century. Contemporary readers and modern film adaptations tend to erroneously shorten it to "Charles," despite him always being referred to by both first names.
