It's really just assumed that the code still compiles afterwards.
Sometimes, it's hard for me to right commit messages confidently because
I don't know if static checker bugs affect real life.  But in this case
I really think the commit message could be written more confidently.

Please write it like this:
"There is a typo here where it says "qurey" but "query" was intended."
