TreeStory.java My code doesn't work and the error messages don't make sense to me....Please help!

So I am trying to get my TreeStory prototype to work but it doesn't...

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();
        /*  Some terms:
            noun - Person, place or thing
            verb - An action
            adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
            Enter your amazing code here!
        */
      String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
      int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
      if (age < 13) {
       console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program ");
      System.exit(0);
      }
        String name = console.readLine("Enter a name here:   ");
        String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective here:    ");
        String noun;
      boolean isInavlidWord;
      do { 
      noun = console.readLine("Enter an noun here:    ");
      isInvalidWord =  noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || 
                       noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk");
        if (isInvalidWord)  {
          console.printf("That kind of language is not allowed.  Try again.  \n\n "); }
      } while (isInvalidWord);
        String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb here:    ");  
        String verb = console.readLine("Enter an verb ending -ing here:    ");

      console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n------------------------\n");
      console.printf("%s is a %s %s. , name, adjective, noun");
      console.printf ("they are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
    }
}

You have typo in variable declaration:boolean isInavlidWord Later you use isInvalidWord
