Note
A regular plural, made with plain -s and taking plural agreement: these editors are, several editors were. The singular names people and tools alike, so the plural covers both. It can mean a newsroom's editors, the machines that once cut and spliced movie film, or the text editors a programmer switches between. Context usually settles which. In the possessive, the apostrophe follows the -s: the editors' decision.
