Which is correct? ______ are not only embarrassing — they can be dangerous. Back in 2005, attackers set up a malicious website — googkle.com — that infected the computers of hapless visitors with adware and Trojans.a. Typos b. Typoes c. Typo’s |
Answer: a
Google poll results:
typos: 28,300,000
typo’s: 728,000
typoes: 119,000
This is, somewhat ironically, a tricky word to spell correctly. Many words that end in o take an e — potatoes, tomatoes. Nevertheless, most people who misspell it make it typo’s instead. No excuse for that, as far as I can see.
