Oh gods, it's not the only one. Divers:


Yes, I know it's an ancient variant of "Diverse" and being used here in the same way.

It's not. Divers is a completely different word from diverse, not just an archaic spelling.

Merriam-Webster: Divers Definition

Divers is not a misspelling of diverse—it is a word in its own right. Both words come from Latin diversus, meaning "turning in opposite directions," and both historically could be pronounced as either DYE-verz (like the plural of the noun diver) or dye-VERSS. Divers (now pronounced more frequently as DYE-verz) is typically used before a plural noun to indicate an unspecified quantity ("a certain secret drawer in the wardrobe, where were stored divers parchments" — Jane Eyre); it's a rather formal word and not commonly encountered. Diverse (usually dye-VERSS) is frequently called upon to emphasize variety. It means either "dissimilar" or "unlike" (as in "a variety of activities to appeal to the children's diverse interests") or "having distinct or unlike elements or qualities" ("a diverse student body").

It has effectively the same meaning as diverse, as they both come from "diversus" and are used to mean "Various, unspecified quantity"

Anyroad, besides you being wrong, the point stands that the translation team is making shit up instead of sticking to the vocabulary that we know those people use.

No. He's saying they have taken uncountably many forms, not many different forms. Divers is about how many. Diverse is about how different.

It's really nice when they get stuff like that right--every now and again I've run into an archaic word that I thought should be something else, looked it up, and it turned out the localization was correct. "Corse" always catches me off-guard that way.

I never knew 'divers' was spelled differently than 'diverse', just that I've always heard it pronounced differently. Learn something new every day.
