Then there is the method of picking a passphrase because it is easier to remember, but using as password first letter + lenght of each word because it is shorter to type.

Of course it is much weaker than a random password, but still hard to guess. And better than forgetting your password...
No. Don't do this. Don't tell other people to do this. This has awful entropy. If you're going to use a passphrase, use the whole phrase.

Many people claim that there is no difference between Java and a turd.

Don't be ridiculous. Turds are natural. They are a byproduct of life. Java is an unholy abomination.

That is what I like here : everything checked + puns.
