Note
A plural that only the countable uses of the noun allow. As a quality (difference, unlikeness, inclusion), diversity takes no -s. The plural turns up, often in technical writing, when each instance is a distinct variety measured on its own: the diversities of separate regions, populations or systems. A quick test is whether two diversities makes sense. If it does not, keep the singular.
