Note
A regular -s plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it: people who own something, a ship's captain in slang, and, in the Philippines, a shortened name for the owner-type jeepney. In writing, the apostrophe does work that speech cannot. Owner's belongs to one holder and owners' to several, as in the owners' association; plain owners takes a plural verb.
