  • You guys are so helpful to me. I am thankful for a good advice giver like you!

    I am 12 years old and am writing a play. I know it is not going to become famous or anything. Although, I love using my creativity to make up things!

    Love,

    Rachel

  • @NikkiRachelShow No way im 12 and writing a play to

  • @ccsdavis1 I never said you can't use it if your american, you choose which one to use, that's just how they made it, I am from saudi arabia, I use a little bit of both spellings, they both work, am just saying that dialog and dialogue both work and that dialog is not wrong at all

  • @ObviouslyRandomUser I'm an American. And I say "dialogue." What.... now.... yo? :)

  • @justice2016 Dialogue is the British spelling, Dialog is the American spelling

  • Ha, way to spell Dialogue right!!! haha(:

  • I think when writing dialog. you should rely less on stereotypes as this man is suggesting. If you want interesting characters don't give people the same stereotypes we've seen over and over. Make someone creative and more unique

  • dont say, if you put into your head your ganna make it! you will. always think above every thing.. and good luck.
