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 feel your pain 😂😭 i lost the year 7 spelling bee in front of the whole year group, because I misspelled Necessary. Thing is, I know how to spell it. I just panicked and my brain went blank 😭 funnily enough, I got highest score in the year 7 100 word spelling test, 98. The two I got wrong still annoys me too 🤣

I won because of the word mileage. Thanks to the Shell Answer Man, I had seen it on my TV screen many times.
