Compilation error for @SupressWarnings("spellingerror","asleeponkeyboard","wet")

Please if anybody can tell me what is wrong with my annotation.

Stuff.java 
public class Stuff {

  @SupressWarnings("spellingerror","asleeponkeyboard","wet")
  public void doThings() {
    // Nothing to see here

    // Or here


    // Or here


    // Or here

  }    
}
console.txt 
Stuff.java:6 warning: [spellingerror] A spelling error was found. Wherever possible,
  use correct spelling.
Stuff.java:9 warning: [asleeponkeyboard] You have a sequence of characters suggesting 
  that you fell asleep on your keyboard.
Stuff.java:12 warning: [wet] Duplicate code above this line suggests that you may be 
  violating the DRY principle. Remember: Do not Repeat Yourself.

I am having the same issue.

My code:

public class Stuff {
  @SuppressWarning("spellingerror","asleeponkeyboard","wet")
  public void doThings() {
    // Nothing to see here

    // Or here


    // Or here


    // Or here

  }    
}

The output/error message:

./Stuff.java:2: error: cannot find symbol
  @SuppressWarning("spellingerror","asleeponkeyboard","wet")
   ^
  symbol:   class SuppressWarning
  location: class Stuff
1 error

Erin Orstrom - sorry about not listing the answer after resolving the error,

Suppressing errors should be passed in as an array - @SuppressWarnings({"spellingerror","asleeponkeyboard","wet"})

Yep that made the task pass. Thank you Shekhar for that answer! Helped me out a lot, and I was able to complete the course.
