"What is dialog," smart-kid53 asked curiously.
"Dialogue (occassionally seen as dialog) is the act of having a conversation between two or more people. It also refers to the conversation itself. In literature, it reveals the thoughts and feelings of the characters which make them seem more realistic," ask996 answered with absolute certainty.
"Oh, now I understand."
"That's because you're a smart-kid53. Do you also realize that every time the speaker of dialogue changes, the author starts it on a new line? And don't forget this entire conversation was a dialogue about dialogue."
"Why doesn’t the author just tell us? What the characters think and feel?
"Well perhaps the author wants to make a stronger personal connection to the writing for the reader, or maybe this gives the author a chance to reveal more about the character through the use of dialect as well."
"Dialect?"
"Dialect is the way people speak based upon education, economics, environment, geography, and etc."
