Note
One regular plural covers a strikingly mixed set of offices: heads of universities, cathedral record keepers, the foreman of a jury, heads of government in some German-speaking countries. Because the offices differ so much, the plural reads clearest with its institution attached, as in the university's chancellors or the diocese's chancellors. In British usage the bare word can also stand for the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
