Typos, typoes or typo’s?

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.
