An incorrect choice of words isn't a typo; it's a mistake, like using "it's" when "its" would've been correct. Back on topic, I've worked for managers & team leads who'd call "bullshit" whenever I'd try to talk my way out of a blunder. It seemed harsh at the time, but I realize now it's been a blessing.
