I think the use of real words, depending on how they are used, is a not bad model.
A machine finds random letters faster than real words.

It depends: if you're comparing one random character to a word, the word is harder to find. But if you compare 4 random characters to a 4-letter word, the word is easier to brute-force (by using a dictionary attack).

I've seen similar phrases used as brain wallets, and they were found.

Is it better idea to show your ISP that you are using Tor? Don't you think it's alarming?

Is it less alarming to show your ISP that you are using a VPN?

Both isn't ideal, but VPNs are often used to connect to a company network too. Or for streaming.

Which do you think is easier for an automatic system to find:
"1McY1aGwc8jvFtA."
or
"My2YearOldCatLikesYoWalk."

Both are equally strong, but the second option is much more difficult to be recognized by an automatic system than the first.

What makes you think they're equally strong? If the first one is generated randomly, it's much stronger. If you want to use words as a password, at least generate them randomly. Kinda like Electrum does it.

The probability of him hitting random letters is greater than a sentence.

You should look up the words "dictionary attack" Wink
