Thank you  Randy for pointing out. I am really sorry that i missed the
incorrect change while creating the Patch. I have reverted the
incorrect change in this version.

Fix couple of grammar and spelling issues such as:
diagnosic -> diagnostic
Cuurently accepted directives -> The currently accepted directives

This patch aims to correct these issues and enhance the existing
documentation.

This should be [PATCH v2] docs: ktap: fix minor typos in ktap.rst file

I'll let the maintainers decide if they want a v3 from you.
