Note
A regular plural, formed with -s and taking a plural verb: the observers report, not reports. The possessive puts the apostrophe after the s, as in the observers' findings. Every meaning of the singular carries over, so the plural can name watchers on a cliff, followers of a rule, delegates who monitor without taking part, or entities with limited participation rights in an organization.
