Note
A regular -s plural that carries every meaning of the singular. It covers modern totalitarian rulers, the Roman magistrates who held sole executive power for a term granted by the Senate, and the tyrannical bosses of everyday complaint. The surrounding words do the sorting: "Roman dictators" is history, "military dictators" is modern politics. The same spelling also appears as a misspelling of dictaters, the plural of a separate word.
