Subject: easy to remember gibberish

In English all 3 letter Consonant-Vowel-Consonant combinations are pronouncable and on syllable.
Using either 2 or 3 syllables, you will get a six or nine letter password that is much easier to remeeber than the Consonant-Vowel alternating pattern. (IMHO, rapogeri is much harder to remeber than rapger) It's also a good idea to not include "y" or "q" in the consonant list, because they can produce some hard to say words (liyyem, qehruy)

Examples:
mashim
fedpow
lefnil
kilgas
dagnorwed
podfilter
noscumhor
bossulwit

These are pretty safe against dictionaries, except for the random word that is real or a combination of real words, such as "podfilter" above. Adding a number is an option, but a better solution is gently reminding the user to change the password.
