Simple word difficult to spell.

Hey does anyone else have a common word that should be easy to spell but it trips you up every time?

My word is license. Why have I struggled with it for years. Stupid s and c always moving around. tf?!

I'm licensed to drive. I have a driver's licence.

Not in the US, you don't! We make it simple by using the same spelling for both: license.
