Note
A regular plural whose one trap is the possessive: the warranties of several makers are the manufacturers' warranties, with the apostrophe after the s, while a single maker's guarantee is the manufacturer's. It usually carries a noun in front naming the product, as in car manufacturers, drug manufacturers or toy manufacturers, and it covers companies as readily as people.
