No you are thinking of something else, a dialectic is a non-conductive material that can be polarized by an electric field.

No, that’s a dielectric. A dialectic is somebody who can’t eat much sugar because their body doesn’t produce enough insulin.

No, that's a diabetic. Easy to get them confused, but a dialectic is a glyph added to a letter to distinguish it from similar letters, i.e. ü vs. u.

No, that's a diacritic. Dialectics is the set of practices and ideas practiced by Scientologists, invented in 1950 by L. Ron Hubbard.

No, that's Dianetics. Dialectics are a type of computer hardware from the 90's that uses the telephone network to connect to the internet
