The "correct horse battery staple" style was (originally?) known as Diceware: https://theworld.com/~reinhold/diceware.html The FAQ is interesting reading.

Fair enough, although as someone who uses a 60 character long home wifi password - and have had to type it out manually more than once in the past - I think it's still worth it, because such cases are rare. :)
I use “correct horse battery staple”-style[1] passphrases now because they're still long and secure, but also memorable, so I don't have to enter passwords character-by-character, and I've memorized all of my most-used accounts now and don't need to look them up. 1Password can even generate these types of passwords automatically.
The only annoying bit is when services have arbitrary restrictions like “no spaces”, or “mix of capitals, lower-case, numbers, and symbols”. In those cases I use hyphens instead of spaces, or stick “A1!” on the end.
