MySql can't create user

I'm logged in as root using the MySQL command line on windows. This was installed with Microsoft Web Platform Installer. Version is

Server version: 5.1.72-community MySQL Community Server (GPL)

I can't create a new user with this statement

create user 'someuser'@'localhost' indentified by password 'somepassword';

or

create user 'someuser'@'localhost' indentified by 'somepassword';

I get this error

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'inden
tified by 'somepassword'' at line 1

There is a typo: indentified which should be identified
