Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it: people who run businesses or restaurants, a team's head coaches, the administrators who look after singers and groups, and software that gives users control over part of a system. Context does the sorting. In writing, the plural possessive puts the apostrophe after the s (the managers' meeting), while the manager's office belongs to one.
