StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled: undefined method `referances'

When I run bin/rake db:migrate I get the error above. My code is here: https://github.com/perpetualmultimedia/testApp Last time I asked a question on here it was a spelling error, so I spent hours looking this over. Hopefully thats not the case this time. Thanks.

The error explicitly tells you - it's a typo again I'm afraid :) "referances" in 20150403193030_create_todo_items.rb - line 4. Change it to "references".

Thanks you!! I had the same spelling error that wouldn't allow my code to run.

So, I am very quickly understanding that I have trouble learning from videos because of my lack of phonics. Haha. No problem. The good news is I am learning from a bunch of new books and I am now extremely confident in my ability to navigate through this language better and hopefully without spelling errors. Haha.
