I have several dictionaries that I use. Every english word. All common english/french/german/spanish words, and my favorite: 200,000 passwords gleamed from other hacks, sorted by frequency.
But you're right, an individual user can avoid all this pretty easily. However, in large groups of people you will always find lazy and stupid ones. I'm not trying to guess person X's name. I'm just guessing that SOMEONE in the group is named John. Or Sarah. Or Kwame.
