Being from the UK you wouldn’t believe how long I mulled this problem over with my website name Lingualogue.com. I knew a lot of my target audience would generally use ‘log instead of ‘logue so it took me ages to decide. In the end I bought both but made ‘logue the main name as I still prefer it.

I love the way you say “creep me out”. That’s exactly the same feeling I get if something doesn’t seem quite right.

Is the dropping of the ‘ue’ an American thing?

I speak both French and English and so for me all those words seem to look more correct with the ‘ue’ at the end.

I prefer “dialogue,” but by some irrational quirk, “dialog” doesn’t creep me out the way “epilog” does.

How do you feel about “dialog” versus “dialogue”?

Hello,

A funny personal note about fatigue. When I was just getting into advanced reading for school I came across the word and fell in love. Once I find a word I like I try to use it regularly. After looking up the definition I walked up to my mom and said “Mom, I am so fat-eh-guu-ed.”

I failed to check the proper pronunciation. Ah youth, how silly I was.
