I use passphrases as my passwords wherever I can. Today trying to log into our guest wireless for the first time I'm presented with a portal and when I enter my password and it tells me "passwords must not contain spaces". Seriously? I have has a space in my Windows passwords for years - while I avoid spaces for fields I might script, like username and folder names, for a password I've never worried about it. Dumb.
