As Margaret Shertzer wrote in her book, The Elements of Grammar, "Most

Webster agreed in their New Collegiate dictionary with "The plural
form of a noun ending in a consonant and "o" is -oes: hero, heroes."

Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition. 2000. p.
1549: "Typo" n., pl. "pos"...
