Other than the typo, this HuffPo writer doesn't know the difference between principle and principal.
Present and past participle
I remember learning that when I was like 7 years old. Our teacher said "The principal is your PAL, he's there to help you- that's how you can remember the spelling!" Pretty clever, right? I never misspelled the word again, and I've never used the incorrect "principal" where "principles" should be. All because I had a clever teacher.
Works most of the time, but not when discussing things like your loan principal. That's not your pal, guy.

Got that one way back when. It must have been around a while. It works.
