Well:

Gage is the generally used term in the mechanical engineering field
in reference to various instruments for geometric dimensioning and
tolerancing. i.e. thread gage, depth gage...

And it is an alternative spelling for gauge. If you don't like it,
you may cast your gage and challenge them to unequal combat of wits.
