Error: Failed to fetch platform andriod

I arrived my work and the first thing I did was try to install an Ionic 3 app in my android device but I got an error. It is strange because the previous day it worked.

ionic cordova build andriod

Output:

alxkc (photo) FindMeMobile $ ionic cordova build andriod
> cordova platform add andriod --save
Using cordova-fetch for andriod

Error: Failed to fetch platform andriod
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.

Omg! This is a completely shame. I was using exactly the same command every time I tried it. I removed the platform, and added it again, and removed, and install again the newest version. But was that, I was typing wrong android lol. This is a teach for other people that have typos while programming.
