I was reading a pamphlet recently about investments. On the back, there were some definitions. It included, "Principle: the initial amount invested".

It's not, is it? It's the principal, right?

If I'm correct, and I know you lot will tell me, would you invest with people who don't know how to spell investment terms.

You're right.

Doesn't sound like attention to detail is good - Not a good starting point.

It worries me because they work with people in poverty. You won't believe this, it is investments for children's education.
