I don't know much about compuiters but
how is picking apple any easier than pleap as a password?
from a probability point of view, it is just as likely to guess apple as it is pleap if you're using a brute force software, unless it's programmed to look for common words in english, but then again who would you know it's in english rather than any other language, so guessing words from any language is out of the question when trying to get a password since it's far more efficient to just think of it as a random combination of characters, now the only difference would be if I were to guess to password using intuition (birthday of the person I'm trying to hack or such things) but this isn't any good if you want to get into many accounts of many people who you might not even know
