Trialogue

1: OK, so we have three characters, let's write some dialogue.
2: Wouldn't it be trialogue?
3: What?
1: Whatever, let's just--
2: Because di- is a prefix for two people. So monologue, dialogue, and we have three people so it's trialogue.
1: Yeah, this doesn't matter--
3: No, bi- is the prefix for two people. Dialogue means many.
1: I don't--
3: It's not bialogue, it's dialogue.
2: Are you sure?
1: Look, let's just--
3: Well I'm sure it's not bialogue if that's what you're asking.
2: But we can still call it a trialogue, can't we? I mean that's not wrong is it?
