Note
A regular plural that carries every job the singular holds: building managers, heads of Sunday schools, Protestant clergy overseeing a district, US janitors, and, in Commonwealth police forces, officers ranked between chief inspector and chief superintendent. Only context tells which is meant. The possessive puts the apostrophe after the s (the superintendents' meeting), and the building manager's short form super pluralizes just as plainly, to supers.
