Not a dig at you Gwylan. It’s just that a spelling mistake is like a needle piercing my eye. Even I had to check the dictionary for the correct spelling of the word gauge.

Same for me. Spelling just leaps off the page at me!
You would love this book, about half way the author changes from one spelling of ”gauge” to the other.

I used the word almost every day in my working life. I worked with insulated copper wire of various gauges. There was a red pamphlet sized book of the Gauge number and sizes, cross sectional areas, current carrying capacity and the nearest metric equivalent. By the time I retired everything was Metric, and although more logical I still found it easier to think in gauge numbers.
