A homophone is a word that sounds the same, but is spelled differently, so it would be 'principal'

Homophone For Principle

Homophone of the day: principle / principal
posted on 2003/05/08 11:47
principle: n 1: a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct; 2: a rule or standard especially of good behaviour
principal: adj: most important element; n 1: the original amount of a debt on which interest is calculated; 2: the educator who has executive authority for a school
Annoyingly common online, this one.
'principled' is fine ('having principles'); 'principaled' is utterly meaningless.
It's even more annoying considering the British don't call head teachers 'principals'.

At the risk of a lot of laughter and thumbs down, one that stands out in my head because I heard it recently is Until I Find You Again by Richard Marx: Lately I’ve been trying To fill up my days since you’re gone The speed of love is blinding And I didn't know how to hold on My mind won’t clear I’m out of tears My heart’s got no room left inside Chorus: How many dreams will end How long can I pretend How many times will love pass me by Until I find you again Will the arms of hope surround me Will time be a fair weather friend Should I call out to angels Or just drink myself sober again I can’t hide it’s true I still burn for you Your memory just won’t let me go Chorus I’d hold you tighter Closer than ever before No flame would burn brighter If I could touch you once more. Hold you once more Chorus
