Usage Note :

  • Be careful with the spelling of this word, and do not confuse argument and dispute. An argument is a disagreement between people who may or may not know each other. A dispute is a serious argument that can last for a long time. Disputes generally occur between organizations, political parties, or countries. Note that dispute can also be a verb.
