could you explain? in the context of say, opinions, what are the differences in these words?

Divers is like several while diverse is many different

So like divers drug charges means like several but they may be different while diverse is more concerned w the fact that they are different so if selling heroin vs selling ecstasy had different legal implications you wanted to point out. It's not super important.

divers is the plural of "diver", which is someone who goes underwater with special breathing equipment.
Diverse is a completely different thing.

>>19465579
all those books must have been talking about divers for absolutely no reason then.

>> No.19465586

>>19465580
Maybe it was actually "drivers", which, again, is a different thing altogether, both from divers and diverse.

>> No.19465607

>>19465605
Prove you didn't.

>> No.19465609

>>19465586
Do you really think I read 'drivers' as 'divers' countless times?

>> No.19465612

they both mean various -> varying

Possibly. You could see it in common phrases like "in many and drivers' ways."

>> No.19465681

But that's not a common phrase.

Recall the word you gave:
to count your way across the depths of this arid world,
where you would yoke the waves,
and lay a bed of shining pearls.
I dream it every night:
the ringing of the pail,
the motes of sand dislodged,
the shucking, quick and bright;
the twinned and cast-off shells reveal a single heart of white.

And in an infinite backslide:
Ancient border, sink past the West,
like a sword at the bearer's fall.
I can't claim that I knew you best,
but did you know me at all?
