Learners sometimes confuse "principally" with "in principle" or "on principle". "Principally" means "mainly" (e.g., "The class is principally for beginners"), while "in principle" means "generally, in theory" and "on principle" means "because of your beliefs". Learners also sometimes mix up "principally" with "principal" (adjective/noun) and "principle" (noun).
