We analyze thousands of research papers to understand this \"dialog(ue) debacle\". Among publications in top venues that use \"dialog(ue)\" in the title or abstract, 72% use \"dialogue\", 24% use \"dialog\", and 5% use both in the same title and abstract. This split distribution is more common in Computing than any other academic discipline. We investigate trends over ~20 years of NLP/AI research, not finding clear evidence of a shift over time.
