Dialogue is a conversation between two or more.
Primarily found in North America, dialog is an alternative spelling of the word dialogue. This alternative spelling became popular in the 1980s when it became a computer term and has become the spelling used most often in the United States. The Oxford English Dictionary still shows the preferred spelling as dialogue.
Beyond the spelling question, dialog is what characters say. Powerful stories are dialog driven through carefully chosen word selections.
