I think I/we have done this before, but just for the record.
Lady Duncan wants the Telegraph, not me. Unless I wish to die of malnutrition, we - that is to say, this household will continue to take the Telegraph. If it were up to me I would cancel the Telegraph tomorrow.
Pedant mode.
I think you mean principle, not principal.
Principle vs. Principal
A principle is a rule, a law, a guideline, or a fact.
A principal is the headmaster of a school or a person who’s in charge of certain things in a company.
Words with shared roots often end up with similar meanings in modern use. Principle and principal are two such words. Both of them entered English through Old French. Both have Latin roots—principium, which means “source” is the root of principle, and principalis, Latin for “first,” is the root of principal. If we were to dig a little bit deeper, we would see that the Latin roots can be traced to the same word—princeps, princip, which means “first”, or “chief.” Principle and principal are also pronounced the same way (PRIN-suh-pul), but that only adds to the confusion because the two words have different meanings.
