To answer the question, both. I don't know why, but I find "typoes" to look "correcter". Which obviously makes me a minority here, it seems. But I freely type "typos" every once in a while, too. I think I'm pretty much 50/50 on this one.

Edit 2:

This may be because I'm german, or because I'm a programmer*. I'm used to pronouncing "~pos" as "~poss". And it's not tai-poss it's tai-poes. So maybe that's why.

Edit 3:

* strpos (pos for position) for those that didn't get it.
...I'm pronouncing strpos as str"poes". (as in the english pronounciation of position)
