Driver's license /driving licence
I received a postcard yesterday that informs informed (or reminded) me that I needed the period of time to renew my driver's /driving license/ licence. I was surprised that five years have already passed since the last time. Always Time really flies! :D

久しぶりね、エリーさん!それは良かっただよ :)
Licence is a noun, eg. "I have a driver's licence."
License is a verb, eg. "We are licensed to sell alcohol."
Many native speakers get this wrong.
Driver's vs driving licence seems to be a regional thing "A driver's license/licence (United States, Canada, South Africa), or driving licence (United Kingdom, rest of Commonwealth, Ireland; see spelling differences)" (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver's_license). And apparently I say it wrong for where I come from, hehe. America has a pretty big influence on language here through TV.

# My license expires every 10 years. The next time I renew my license, I will be in my thirties;I will feel like an old man... (*o*)
