Note.  Dialog is considered a uncommon variant of dialogue, some may even consider it incorrect.  It is only included due to it's use in "dialog box".  Thus I do not think dailogs should be added.  If it was possible to include compound words with spaces I would include "dialog box" and remove "dialog".  See this graph for an idea of the frequency of these words: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=dialogue%2Cdialogues%2Cdialog%2Cdialogs%2Cdialog+box&year_start=1980&year_end=2010&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cdialogue%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cdialogues%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cdialog%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cdialogs%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cdialog%20box%3B%2Cc0

Given that MW give _dialogue_ and _dialog_ as variant spellings with no difference in meaning, there's no reason to mark this as misspelled.
