Well, I'm 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". > rday Amicalement, -- Albert. [1] ... or should it be "do"? :)
