"divers" instead of "diverse"
"divers" instead of "diverse"
"Diverse" means "varied or different". "Divers" means "uncounted many".It's not. Divers is a completely different word from diverse, not just an archaic spelling.

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").
In either case, OP, it's a good idea to consult a dictionary before reporting any typos, however obvious they may seem to you, because the writers use archaic or obscure terms to maintain that fantasy feel.
