So, while i guess this is really one of those British vs. American spelling things, when i saw your comment i realized my distinction was computers vs. the real world.
Dialogue: a conversation between two people Dialog: one of those boxes that pops up and asks you if it's ok or if you want to cancel (for example).
The APIs in windows spell it without the "ue" so programmers are used to seeing it written that way. I googled this a bit and found a few other people thought of this the same way i do.
Basically it's a set of functions you can call to do things. So when you're writing code you can call the DialogBox() function with parameters describing what you want it to look like and what it should do when you hit the various buttons and Windows will pop it up for you.
