"dear" is an adjective here. adjectives in english do not change form when they describe plural nouns or nouns of different gender. It depends: members list = a list of members, or a list for members. members' list = a list belonging to all members. member's list = a list belonging to one particular member. Are there any difference in meaning between the following two sentences? 1. all the members of the club are supposed to play at least one musical instrument. 2. all members of the club are supposed to play at least one musical instrument.

There's another way to look at this: with collective nouns (like council, staff, etc.) use a singular verb when thinking of the group members as a unit. "the council is one of the nation's best." use a plural verb when thinking of the group members as individuals. "the council spent the entire session squabbling among themselves.". I am a little confused about the capitalisation of the word "all" in the phrase dear all at the beginning of e mails. i've seen it in e mails from highly educated native speakers. does it show respect for the recipients? and would the same logic apply to dear colleagues (as opposed to dear. However, as with other collective nouns, if one is thinking of the members individually the plural is used. for example, "the staff are divided about the benefits package offer." or "the committee disagree about how to proceed." as an aside, i cringe whenever i heard the word "staffers," which is increasingly heard in ae. I’m wondering how far the grammatical principle of word order seen in “present” stretches. “present members” means those who have the membership of the group whereas “members present” means people present at a particular meeting. the posterior adjective seems to me to counter the english.
