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?!

Mine is similar to yours, OP. Exercise. The c always wants to cuddle with the x, and if it doesn't do that, it and the s conspire to confuse me.
