Correct spelling is “accommodation”, not “accomodation”. Changing student_accomodation to student_accommodation now will prevent this linguistically incorrect value from becoming established.

guest_house=student_accomodation | Tags | OpenStreetMap Taginfo seems to not indicate need to consult it with data consumers
Another regular misspelling is the accomodation key itself - I use this script to detect keys and values that I potentially use for rendering becoming or leaving 0-usage. Two appeared a couple of days ago.
As accomodation is just a genuine misspelling with no possible other interpretation, fixing the data doesn’t really need a discussion about it. With student_accomodation there’s a wiki page to sort out as well though.
guess_house=student_accomodation is unusual, because this form is documented and this tag not appear (yet) in correct form.

I would expect the documentation to be fixed first. If anybody, please contact its author.
Interestingly. the following thread had the same spelling (till today): community.openstreetmap.org/t/so-many-tags-for-student-accomodation/102566
Yes, I edited the recent forum threads that I could where accomodation was used as if it was the correct spelling (but not in any keys).
though asking to confirm one has not missed anything can be useful and is not wrong
I corrected the spelling in the wiki 3 minutes ago!
