If you wanted to recommend a less descriptive yet more commonly known word, why not use "error" or "mistake"?

Typo literally means the opposite of what the OP wants to convey.

A typo is when you pick the right word, but type it wrong.

A malopropism is when you pick the wrong word, but type it correctly.
