This is NOT a dig on ANY INDIVIDUAL PERSON. So don't let your panties ride up on you. This happens dozens or hundreds of times each application season. And this is usually brought up EVERY YEAR TOO. Whether you actually receive an appointment to the academy(ies); or you attend a traditional University; I think it's important to show that you are actually an "Educated" person.
*****************************************
Principal (adjective or noun) conveys the meaning of "primary" or "chief" - like [as adjective] e.g. the principal aim of a series of tasks,or [as noun] the principal of a school. It is also used as the chief part of a loan (i.e., not the interest), as in apply the extra $50 in this month's mortgage payment toward the principal. (HINT: This is the type of "Nomination" you want to receive).

Principle (noun) is a rule, law or general truth. E.g. The principles of mathematics, Rule, Axiom, Precept, Doctrine, Moral.

FWIW: These two words have absolutely NOTHING in common; other than the way they sound. Most people have learned the difference between "HERE" and "HEAR"; "THERE" and "THEIR"; "WHERE" and "WEAR"; why do so many people not know the difference between "PRINCIPAL" and "PRINCIPLE"? You're college bound. You might want to prove it.
Anyway, if you don't take it personal and you learn from it; great. If you take it personal, that wasn't my intention; that's your problem. Sorry.
