Note
A regular plural, most familiar when it means people: the royals of the tabloids, often capitalized as the Royals and informal in tone. The same plural also serves the quieter nouns behind royal: printers' sheets of 25 by 20 inches, writing sheets of 24 by 19, lycaenid butterflies, the fourth tines of an antler. Context, not form, tells them apart. A printer ordering royals wants paper, not princes.
