KISS of course, and I don't use pass*words* anymore. A "password" of Isn't this 
insane? is easy to remember, for example. I'm assuming words with apostrophes 
and/or hyphens adds complexity right? What I hate are websites that don't allow 
more than a certain number of characters

Preaching to the choir I am sure.

  That assumes most people want their passwords to be secure.

  For most people, their goal is to make their password as easy as
possible -- easy to type, easy to remember, and sometimes even easy to
share.  (Complicated passwords are harder to communicate to friends
and co-workers.)
