Well, I'd slightly out of my realm here as I usually do rigid pedantism
in French only :), but it seems like the correct plural form of "typo"
is "typos", because, unlike "tomato" or "hero", "typo" is not a word in
itself but an abbreviation, and thus follows the same rule as "photo"
or "radio" does [1].
Thus I vote for fixing "typoes" into "typos".
