Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of its singular, so context has to do the sorting. Kitchen food processors, the people or institutions that handle applications and photos, and the chips inside a computer all share this one form. For possession, the apostrophe follows the s: the processors' clock speeds. The ending stays -or in both singular and plural, never -er.
