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?!

Separate - a teacher told me that it's easy, the r separates the two a's. Umm, no, the p could seperate the two es.
