    Principle isn't in their vocabulary.

    They spelt it differently within the content of the section in the same context, so both cannot be right...so to answer your question, yes.

    On a recent visit to Knock Shrine I noticed in a plaque under one of the four replica monastic windows from each province the verb to be, it's, used instead of the possessive its. It looked like a bronze engraving so serious engraving was done. Not serious enough as it turned out.

    In our school I've seen instructions to keep the stationary cabinet locked, and a caution not to put the blue role down the toilet. Amongst others.

    It's par for the course to see things like Toms Bar around the place but one would hope the Department acts on an embarrassment.

    Completed my Level 6 SNA course this Spring & the tutor used Principle in place of Principal the entire way through the course. I had to bite my tongue constantly. I just wanted to correct her.
