From an LA Times article about tennis:
"He has focused on the simple principal of moving aggressively forward."
I groaned audibly when I read this sentence. There's just no excuse for this elementary error in the LA Times.
"Principal" should be "principle." A simple principal would mean either a simpleton who is leading a school or an uncomplicated part of a loan that is not interest. A "principle" is a tenet or law.
