Alright, Shannah, we give up. We’ve done a lot of digging and asking around…
…but we are simply stumped.
Also, this is why we’re asking you.
Can you please explain “dialog” vs. “dialogue” for us?

Perhaps “dialogue” is the British spelling. I may be wrong though.

Dictionary.com says the same - they’re just different spellings with the same meaning.

Pretty sure it’s just UK spelling vs. American spelling.

Also: I don’t know why you’re asking me, but thank you for doing so! :)

What even is that.

It has to do with language evolution from British English to American English, I believe; most American words chop off the -ue ending: catalog, for example.
