So every year on SAF there have many, many posts with questions and comments about receiving a "principle" nomination.

Just so that it is not an innocent (yet potentially embarrassing) mistake in an email inquiry, thank you letter/note, etc. to Admissions, a MOC or Senator, please be advised that it is "Principal" Nomination and not "Principle" Nomination (although you may have received your Nom based on "principle" nonetheless ;)).


FYI, page three:

 
My 5th grade teacher taught me this trick and it sticks with me today: “The principal is your pal.” That’s how I remember that anytime you’re referring to a person, it’s spelled “p-a-l.” Man, it’s weird how we remember some things!

Thanks for the tip. Finally. After 60+ years.
