MySQL syntax error during user creation

I am following the Detailed Instructions at: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions

and when I get to the section: Using the MySQL Client

I keep receiving a syntax error when I enter :

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO "wordpressusername"@"hostname"
    -> IDENTIFIED BY "password";

I am entering the code exactly as it is above except for the databasename, username, and hostname variables. I then receive this error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘PRIVELEGES ON databasename.* TO “wordpressusername”@”hostname”
IDENTIFIED BY “password”‘ at line 1
