How do you not see it?

Student of mine, paper they turned in, paragraph about describing a hospital waiting room -

"There were mothers with their kids, old people sleeping in the lobby, and sever others in crotches and wheelchairs. The room also smelled like medicine. The entire room was gray color. The smell, color of the room, and the people in crotches and wheelchairs, for some reason, made me even more scared."

Yup, that is not a misspelling. That is exactly what my student wrote.

How do you not see that and notice it's the wrong word?
