Is "guage" some sort of joke that I don't get or just a misspelling?



It's a misspelling of "gauge", judging by "on a car dashboard style guage". Was pretty confused up to that point.


Maybe it’s some sort of in joke for the company. At least, that’s how I took it— alongside it being an obvious reference to a speedometer. My intuition was that maybe the company’s name was “gauge”, or better yet the CEO’s name was gauge. I really hope it was the latter. Makes me think of Hooli from Silicon Valley for some reason lol
