Note
One spelling covers more than one kind of surgeon. The regular -s plural serves both the doctors who operate and the surgeonfish, so in a passage about reefs, surgeons may well be fish rather than physicians. It takes plural agreement and plural determiners (these surgeons, many surgeons were), and capitalized as a surname it can name a whole family.
