it makes technical sense ,but :
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: ”the word gage is a variant spelling of gauge, which in the noun form refers broadly to measurement (“fine-gauge wire”) or a standard by which something is measured (“polls are a good gauge of how voters might vote”).” The Merriam-Webster adds: “Gauge is by far the preferred spelling in general usage for both the noun and the verb; we encourage you use it.”
Gauge has become the most common word to describe a measuring device or a gauge pressure sensor measuring relative to ambient pressure.
I was taught in school that gauge was the right spelling as I am sure it's still current teaching in all schools across US now as in my school years time . Now I am to blame Virginia Western CC ( not enough money for a more prestigious college ) for teaching me wrong or should I defer to Mr. Newell ?
