1. - Does the dialogue match the time frame?
2. - Is the dialogue punctuated correctly?
3. - Did the dialogue include unnecessary profanity, too many sentence fragments, clichés, or too heavy a dialect?
4. - Have your characters rambled on, chit-chatting away into banal obscurity?
5. - Does each character have their own manner of speaking, like real people do?
6. - The dialogue should match the conflict that is happening between the characters, whether it's sexual, social, physical or political.
