Note
A regular plural that carries both of the singular's meanings. Nearly always it means people who object, whether one by one or gathered in a public display of shared feeling. In the language of finance, though, the same word can mean those who protest a bill of exchange or a note. Context separates the two, since crowds march and bills do not.
