What is the difference between "principal" vs "principle" meaning?
Hello hello! During a parent-teacher conference, I noticed a sign in the hallway stating "Our School's Principal". Confused, I want to ask about the difference between "principal" and "principle" to ensure I was using them correctly in conversation.

Greetings to you, Pavel_Padeerov!


Firstly, the word "principal" in "Our School's Principal" that you saw in your child's school pertains to the person with the highest authority in that learning institution.

On the other hand, the word "principle" is a concept, idea, or theory. It is the basic rule explaining or controlling how something happens or works. For example, "The students and teachers follow the principles that will benefit them and the society."
