Germans learn UK English

Dialogue is UK English. But I just looked it up and apparently 'dialog' is a computer term, but should not be used on its own but rather in combination, such as 'dialog box'.

Americans sadly got there first and defined all the computer terms, that's why it's a TV programme but a computer program. I can deal with that though, helps distinguish computer things from real things!
