PASSWORD GUESSING

I like passwords that are created by using the first letter in each word
of a sentence such as:
"I like eating hot soup in the winter"
So, the passwd would be "ilehsitw" -- not a word you would find in most
dictionaries and (somewhat) easy to remember. If everyone would switch
to this system of selecting passwords, I think we would make the password
guessing game a little more difficult and just think of the neat sentences
you could make up:
"I want a Volvo Turbo for my next car" ---> IwaVTfmnc
"You and I make great waves together" ----> YaImgwt
"I wish you would stop smoking in here" --> Iwywssih
"Can you break this password, dude?" ----> Cybtp,d?
