Note
A regular plural, made by adding -s to the agent noun built from teach plus -er. It carries every meaning of the singular, not only school staff. In Mormonism, teachers hold the second-highest office of the Aaronic priesthood, and since teacher can also mean the forefinger, the plural can name fingers too. For possession, the apostrophe follows the s: the teachers' lounge.
