Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it. In a restaurant, dishwashers are usually the staff hired to scrub plates; in a kitchen showroom, they are the machines, and the surrounding sentence tells them apart. Bird names add two more: in Cornish dialect the word belongs to the wagtail, and in Australia to the restless flycatcher (Myiagra inquieta).
