Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it: people at the wheel of cars, trains or forklifts, drovers moving livestock, pilots in slang, and the software that lets a computer talk to its hardware. Context does the sorting. In writing, watch the apostrophe: one driver's license, but the drivers' lounge, where the apostrophe follows the s because the owners are plural.
