Well, going back to the 1950s, I was always taught by the professional railroaders I knew, that "gage" was the spacing between the two rails, while "gauge" was the thing you read pressures on, i.e. the steam "gauge" in the cab of steam locomotives, for example.
However, apparently the "new politicly correct" grammar of over 75 years later, seems what I was taught on the railroad was wrong. Just like "mothers" are now referred to as "birthing people". Give me a break!
