The information on this site, while it doesn't say anything wrong, is inaccurate. Principal can be a noun or an adjectice. Principal should be used anytime you are referring to the first or largest of something. So the principal in a loan refers to the largest sum of money. Anything that is not a belief, statement, ideal etc. should use principal. So really people should stop going around using the "Principal is your PAL" slogan, because it leads people to think that on all other occasions one should use "principle" and that is not correct.

While I have not written or called to complain of this apparent typo, I have since spoken with anking types and have noted that all mortgage related items seem to use the noun principal.
