Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the report, but I think the typos are intentional.

>From https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/unittest.mock.html#autospeccing:

    Because mocks auto-create attributes on demand, and allow you to
call them with arbitrary arguments, if you misspell one of these
assert methods then your assertion is gone:

Then the following snippet proves that the paragraph above is correct:

    [...]
    mock.assret_called_once_with(4, 5, 6)

    Your tests can pass silently and incorrectly because of the typo.
