  1. stygian-sturgeon answered: My dictionary says they are the same word
  2. descoles answered: I’ve never come across dialog before. I’m English and I use dialogue, so it may be the case that dialog is American English.
  3. anilaheartland answered: I’ve always spelled it dialogue.
  4. halcyonhours answered: Same stuff. Linguistically speaking, both are equally valid. Same as catalog and catalogue. If you use it, then it’s a word.
  5. degeneratingfacades answered: Never actually come across “dialog” before. It could be mistaken as “dial log”? XD “Dialogue” for sure.
  6. wildtroene answered: Dialogue (because it’s the same in french - it ends with gue so it can form the verb “dialoguer” ! ))
  7. thevoiceagainst answered: Dialogue. Dialog just looks incomplete, like someone got a chainsaw and started hacking. Like a log died.
  8. livinginheadcanon answered: as far as I know, as everyone seems to be saying, dialogue is the English spelling and dialog is the American.
  9. indespectus answered: ‘dialogue’ is used in British English and ‘dialog’ is used in American English
  10. asktheonewiththepen answered: I could be wrong, but I believe “dialog” is used more for software, like a “dialog box”.
  11. song-of-the-wishmaster answered: dialogue. always.
  12. that-morning-stillness answered: I was unaware “doalog” was actually a word. I always just used “dialogue”.
  13. t-i-g-t answered: I’m pretty sure the “ue” was lopped off by that English improvement kick Mark Twain started
  14. shannahmcgill answered: Bam your ask box has been INVADED by my sick answer.
  15. pizzatea answered: Um I think “dialogue” is you know, people having a conversation, while “dialog” can be a computer dialog box like “Do you want to…?” Idk.
  16. lipstickandleeches answered: dialogue. dialog just looks like a typo to me.
  17. atop-the-hill answered: Language will always evolve to the whim of its users; both are acceptable.
  18. ave-aria answered: English spelling vs. American spelling
  19. feraghe answered: Doesn’t matter how it’s spelt; the meaning is still the same.
  20. littlebookworm answered: I just searched it on dictionary.com. They mean the same thing, you can just spell the word either way. Very much like the word jewelry. :)
  21. worldwarlove said: Fun fact, “dialog” is the Swedish spelling. But I only ever use “dialogue” when I write it in English.
  22. windowracer answered: Dialogue. All the way.
  23. stevengeorge said: dialogue
  24. unprofessionalamber answered: I use ‘dialogue’ to describe people talking — ‘dialog’ sounds like a technical computer term to me. But I know nothing about this stuff.
  25. granterrific answered: Dialogue… Dialog just doesn’t look right.
  26. rustling-jimmies answered: Never seen the usage of “dialog” before, but apparently it is only used when referring to programming. “Dialogue” is for speaking.
  27. skysthelimitforthisfairae answered: I don’t think I can actually say I’ve seen it spelled like ‘Dialog’
  28. condimentsandsandwiches answered: I much prefer Dialogue. I sw this and my first reaction was “Is dialog even a word?”
  29. sherlala answered: Dialogue is classy as fuck.
  30. multicolouredhues answered: Dialogue.
  31. crankyashley answered: Whatever floats your boat.
  32. skittytales answered: Pretty sure Dialog is only used in relation to technology. But I could be wrong.
  33. tigrislupa answered: I’ve always used “dialogue”. Is “dialog” an alternate spelling of some sort? Or is there a context it’s used in I’m not familiar with?
  34. creativity-dreams-love said: I use dialogue. I’ve always been taught that way, so dialog looks like a misspelling. I actually thought it was a misspelling.
  35. theelusiveman answered: The former.
  36. defygravityxx answered: dialogue.
  37. sweetgums answered: i had no idea that the alternative ‘dialog’ existed; then again English is my second language.
  38. gatmen answered: I’ve only heard dialog used in relation to computers.
  39. jadedvega answered: “Dialog”? What even is that…
  40. neverland-maid answered: Personally to me, “dialog” just doesn’t look like a completed word. “Dialogue” just looks better, in my own opinion.
  41. wickederthanyou answered: Loki it
  42. lectorel answered: People use ‘Dialog’? Really? That looks so incrediably wrong to me.
  43. philozopher answered: It really doesn’t matter to me, but the spelling of “dialogue” has more of an elegant vibe to it.
  44. alinta answered: dialog pisses me off. reminds me of an internet connection. dialogue all the way
  45. sinspired-in-heaven answered: I personally use dialogue, because that’s how I’ve always seen it. I may be American, but British English makes way more sense!
  46. animek22x answered: Dialogue. “Dialog” looks like it has something missing to it to me. XD
  47. sicknessinsalvation answered: I never use dialog, always dialogue.
  48. flieswithninjas answered: I’ve always used ‘dialogue’, simply because it is the terminology that I grew up with. Writing it as ‘dialog’ just seems.. not right.
  49. birduponthewind answered: Dialogue. ALWAYS with the -ue.
  50. lordlings answered: “dialogue” all the way
