What does the term 'Typo' mean ?

  • A.Typing machine
  • B.Short for typographical error
  • C.Typically political
  • D.Printing text

Answer: B

'Typo' is short for typographical error.

A typo is a mistake in typing or typesetting: a wrong, missing, swapped or extra letter, such as 'teh' for 'the'. In newsrooms, catching typos is a routine part of copy editing and proofreading before a story is printed or posted.

The word does not mean a typing machine, which is a typewriter, nor printing text in general. 'Typically political' is a play on the sound of the word and has no connection with its meaning.
