How do you spell

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

How do you spell the word for those little dials with needle pointers everyone puts in their Rams??



It amazes me how often one simple word is misspelled on all the diesel boards and websites I visit. Why do you guys think that is? Let's take a poll on it

Try running Guage and Gauge through the TDR spell check

I've never known what the correct spelling for the little dials are...



I'm sure that in some of my posts I've used gage, gauge, and guage... . so which one is it? LOL

Spell check wants it to be gage! Mr. Webster say a gage is 1. something deposited or pledged to ensure that an obligation will be fulfilled; security 2. a pledge to appear and fight, as a glove thrown down by a knight challenging another 3. a challenge.



Of course right below that it says," Gage alt. sp. of gauge". So I guess you actually have two choices.

Gauge

snowracer, I could have added another poll selection:



"How ever it comes out is good enough for me"



Once when I spelled it "gage" a buddy of mine said "that's how GM spells it. " That cured me once and for all

Many years ago in grammar school, all my papers would come back marked as “Careless” with all the spelling mistakes circled in red. I never could make sense of the rules of spelling because they were no logic to them. I have no trouble with differential calculus but to this day I cannot spell.



I spell it, Gauge, because my spell checker says so.

 

[illflem]

Gauge or gage are both correct

I'm with 15-40-------except that I can't do math either

i get a head of myself when i am typing. i don't usually look at the keyboard when i type, but when i do that i make many keying errors and have to keep pressing the backspace key to correct. other times, i'll watch the keyboard and not the screen and i make less errors there, but when i do, i don'g see what i typed wrong. so when i spell wrong, either i haven't the clue how to spell it, or i miss typed it... gauge is something i usually always spell right, but i have before typed guage. just miss typed it...

My Grandfather said "Ignorance shows when you speak, intelligence speaks when you write".



PS I used spell check without errors.

 

[Un-Hemi]

Awright, Vaughn, my dictionary has no other word between guacamole and guanine, so whattheheck is a guage?????



'Course right after guanine is guano... ... .



Naturally, because of the ambiguity, I didn't vote. I did peek, however.

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Mmmm, guano

LOL @ TommyT



I heard about that guano stuff Kinda makes you lose your appetite for sodas south of the border, even though they (supposedly) do not use it anymore
