The following is all done tongue in cheek. Notice the liberal use of Smileys! ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
OK, I need to get something off my chest.
Why do I keep seeing the word “gauge” misspelled as “guage”, not only on these forums but all over the place? I’m no English major, and certainly not the world’s best speller, but I’m pretty certain that “guage” is not a word. A quick Internet search does confirm this.
I’ve found that “guage” shows up in some surprising places. A couple of months ago I ordered a CT-482 Spark Plug Erosion Gauge from Aircraft Spruce. What I received was a Champion CT-482 Erosion “Guage!” It’s stamped right on it! Here is a photo from their webpage:

Where is this coming from? Maybe it’s some sort of ancient spelling?
Anyway, when you see that little red line under the word “guage”, right click it.
Now don’t get me started on “gage” vs. “gauge!”![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
