Stream Gage (Not Gauge)

The US Geological Survey prefers the spelling Stream Gage instead of Gauge. I am a stream ecologist so you can trust that. Based on a quick Google search I see the EU uses both terms interchangeably. I vote we change it to "Gage." :D

"Sometimes, gage is used as an alternate spelling of gauge in technical contexts when referring to measuring equipment or machinery. However, this usage is very rare and the spelling gauge is much more commonly used even in technical language."
I vote we use the spelling that far more people will understand. Gauge.
