I have always believed that "principal" was a person but a style guide tells me that you are correct when using it as a adjective. I stand corrected - as does the Kaiser-Frazer write-up. Thanks for the language usage lesson!

Randy: I got your message about the Kaiser-Frazer article, but "principal reason" is in fact correct. In this case, "principal" is an adjective meaning "chief, main, foremost in importance" and it modifies "reason". On the other hand, "principle" is never an adjective, so "principle reason" has no meaning. I won't correct it because I don't want to start an edit war, but if you don't believe me, let's ask a third person to judge who is correct. 24.63.72.212 00:32, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
