 101. What is the difference between ‘headmaster' and ‘principal'?
In Commonwealth countries, the word ‘headmaster' is mostly used to refer to the senior most teacher who is in charge of a school — it could be a public (Government) or a private school. In the United States, the title ‘headmaster' is mostly used to refer to the man who is in charge of a private school.

102. How is the word ‘circa' pronounced?
The first syllable ‘cir' is pronounced like the word ‘sir'. The second ‘c' sounds like the ‘k' in ‘kiss', ‘kill' and ‘kid' and the ‘a' is like the ‘a' in ‘china'. The word is pronounced ‘SIR-ke' with the stress on the first syllable. When you say that a play was written circa 1350, you mean that it was written roughly around that time.
