(+) Yeah! (+)

I want to post more often, so I plan to scan CE topics to find an interesting word.
If you want to post in this topic, try to use the word of the day in a sentence.

Principle vs. Principal

Yes, these two words are confusing; we see evidence of the misuse of both in newspapers and books which have been overseen by professional editors, so dont feel bad if you have trouble with them. Principle only functions as a noun (such as a comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine, or assumption); if you want it to be an adjective you must use the word principled. Principal, on the other hand, may function as a noun (such as the head of a school) or as an adjective (meaning most important).

Some school systems suffer from a distinct lack of principals.
