was interned after the funeral.<br clear="none">

<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> </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>

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