Note
A regular plural that carries every sense of reader with it: people who read a publication, performers who recite literary works to an audience, proofreaders, and the publisher's readers who judge submitted manuscripts. Context usually settles which is meant. The same spelling also names reading glasses, so a sentence like "I can't find my readers" leans on its setting to separate eyewear from an audience.
