On a topical note, I completely agree. I encourage people to use long, grammatical passphrases whenever possible. In truth, however, they tend to only do it for things they don't have to type very often such as WPA keys, etc. For everyday use they always revert to something short unless there is a policy in place that forces them to do otherwise.
