It's "typos".
Are you perhaps related to Dan Quayle?
No, you? He added an "e" to a singular where it didn't belong.
As Margaret Shertzer wrote in her book, The Elements of Grammar, "Most
common nouns ending in "o" preceded by a consonant form their plurals
by adding an "es" to the singular." typo, typoes.
Webster agreed in their New Collegiate dictionary with "The plural
form of a noun ending in a consonant and "o" is -oes: hero, heroes."
P.S: You didn't address the grammar issue, "spring form", did you?
I wonder why not. tsk, tsk, tsk

I freely admit that's true, but you ain't go no couth; goin' 'round
spouting poetry in public and all.
You will never understand poetry, nor high language, C-Less.
You've proven it over and over again.
I prefer NOT to "understand" poetry, thanks. I preferred Blake's art.
Now, a good limerick is another thing altogether. Gimme more!
BTW - I still love you for whom you are (now, isn't that damned
awkward - the language, I mean?)
smack (Oops, that provides for an even more awkward situation.)
