The word 'typo' is widely used in Brazilian tech and business environments, often borrowed directly from English. While 'erro de digitação' is the formal Portuguese equivalent, 'typo' is increasingly common in digital communication, coding discussions, and office settings. In Portugal, the term is less commonly borrowed and 'gralha' (historically a printing error) or 'erro de digitação' are preferred.
