Note
One spelling covers every present-tense use with he, she or it, and the construction shows which meaning is meant. With an object or a that-clause, it presents a case: she argues that the plan will fail. With no object, it means disputing or quarreling: he argues with everyone. The old senses "prove" and "accuse" are obsolete here, as in every other form of the verb.
