Our tax dollars at work !  Not only do we pay someone to decide how to spell
"gauge", they get it wrong !

BTW, Merriam-Webster gives the primary definition of "gage" as :
>>>
1 : a token of defiance; specifically : a glove or cap cast on the ground to
be taken up by an opponent as a pledge of combat
2 : something deposited as a pledge of performance
<<<

"Variant of gauge" is the third definition ...
