Depends who's doing the guessing, if I shoulder-surf you typing a 
password, and think I see you typing "listen v" then I might well try 
the whole phrase, a password cracking computer probably wouldn't, even 
though google shows that some computers do associate "listen v" with the 
whole phrase ...
