Dialec**tic** is the practice/art of arriving at the truth by using logical arguments. It starts with two people with opposing opinions, having a good-faith dialog with each other. (or one person who is examining both sides of opposing definitions, like examining two different opposing answers to the question “what is consciousness?”)
Dial**ect** is a region or culture-specific *way of speaking*. An individual from rural Kentucky may have an Appalachian *dialect*, and use words, pronunciations, and forms of grammar specific to that region.
