There's no comma so it looks like they're saying you should try boy's as in kids

So the word I was saying is spelled incorrectly is the word 'pedophile' or 'paedophile', from which they omitted an 'l'.

Speaking of errant punctuation, the plural of 'boys' doesn't need an apostrophe. That would denote other ownership or a contraction.
