Folks use the term S Guage because they are sloppy spellers, do not use a 
spell-checker., or have added "Guage" as acceptable when the spell-checker 
questioned it.   "Guage" would be pronounced gwajhe or maybe gwahzzh; it's 
hard to phoneticize.

Gage is an acceptable variant spelling of gauge, though some reserve gage 
for a measuring device.  With either spelling, it rhymes with page or sage.
