another one. In the last week I have seen "interred" used where "interned" was
correct, and vice-versa. Thus people of Japanese descent were interred during
WW2, and the body was interned after the funeral.<BR><BR>Jeremy H<BR>

<DIV>The 2 words are quite different, but I admit that I have to concentrate
when typing them to make sure I’ve chosen the right one! I don’t think
they have (yet?) become interchangeable.</DIV>

<DIV>Unlike “imply” and “infer”: in the Antipodes, even in scientific papers,
the words are used interchangeably, although I was surprised to find the use as
early as 1931, e.g.:</DIV>

<P>Hi, everyone, </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I have been a bit bugged by seeing "principle" when the word has to be
"principal." </P>
<P>I saw that happening in doctoral dissertations and (in a few cases) articles
from well-known journals, or even books from good publishers. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>And this afternoon, from Heidegger's <EM>Kant and the Problem of
Metaphysics</EM> (Indiana UP, 1997), I found: </P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> </P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">"Thus the knowledge of beings in general
(<EM>Metaphysica Generalis</EM>) and the knowledge of its principle divisions
(<EM>Metaphysica Specialis</EM>) become a "science established on the basis of
mere reason."" (6). </P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> </P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">And now I wonder, has "principle" been accepted as an
alternate spelling of "principal"? Only I haven't been aware of it? </P>
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Dictionaries I use don't have such information. Has
anyone else wondered about this? </P>
