I have the GB English dictionary installed on OOo. It accepts dialogue, and flags dialog as a spelling error. Which dictionary would correctly use both spellings? The only other version of English whose spelling I have needed to know is US English. When I went to a US school, admittedly a long time ago, the teacher would only accept dialog as correct, so I have always thought of dialogue as British and dialog as US, with them actually being incorrect the other way around.
