This. My password is not a word, not even a word with substitutions, but it is optimized towards typing it on a keyboard (in terms of when caps come in, when numbers are added, switching hands, etc). I can knock it out in a second and it's muscle memory with zero risk of forgetting. correct horse battery staple, not so much. I lose some entropy by making it typing-friendly, but the cracking algorithm to simulate that would be pretty difficult. I'll take the loss.

As an aside, 1000 guesses a second? Seems generous.
