It's a Noun!
You can engage in dialogue. You may not dialogue.
And, what really bugs me, is that I usually hear it used as a verb by educator types, especially on public radio.
Stop it.

"endeavour" is routinely misused in the same manner
"for free" - it can be "free" or "for no chagre", but not "for free"
I scanned this just for you: LINK
While we are complaining about usage, I would like to point out that "task" is a noun, not a verb. I cringe every time I hear about how someone was "tasked" to do whateverthehell. Augh!
but using nouns as other parts of speech gives one the aura of "gravitas" :-)
