2. Typo is short for typing (or typographical) error. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/T/typo/#m2)

### In the lessons

Maths: mistakes counted in pages or texts; typos per page is a rate (pages × typos). School: check your writing for typos before you hand it in. Everyday: typos in messages, autocorrect.
