The word can be spelled either way - "gage" and "gauge" are both correct.

Isn't English a fun language?

spell check will interchange them all if you don't know which one is correct 
to your usage in the first place...just tells you that the word you're using 
appears in the language, not if it's the right word for how you're using it.
