Not only do I have to remember the phrase (Diceware), but I have to remember the first three letters of each word in the phrase. Interesting, but cumbersome.

Diceware passwords are jumbles of words. They are unlikely to resemble sentence fragments, since they don't try to preserve grammatical links.

The hypothesis is that grammatically sensical groupings of words are easier to memorize than jumbles of words.
