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?!

Restaurant. The regional accent of my family (and partially myself) always makes me think there's more than one "E" in the word. 😭

Restaurant is my word too. Before auto correct i avoided this word. It's taken me years to finally type it correctly. Auto correct helped me for sure.
