Hacked Paypal account

Someone's account cannot be "gifted".

In the English language, one does not "gift" someone and if you give someone money, the person has not been "gifted".

A person with an IQ of 165 can be considered "gifted" or you can give someone a "gift".

Jeezus! Not ANOTHER pedant! And only his second post! One to avoid I think.

On the subject of passwords, I use a common theme and change all at the same time. Ford theme: galaxy, cortina, fairlane, maverick, mustang. Car theme: rolls royce, ferrari, ford, gmc, chevrolet, peugeot, simca, fiat. Money theme: dinar, dollar, euro, dime, centavo. Chocolate: white, dark, bittersweet, creamy, milk, belgium, dutch, german, swiss. With a common element, I have someplace to think about what it might be. Quite a conundrum.

"When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

"The question is, whether you can make words mean so many different things".

"The question is, which is to be master - that's all".

Exactly, a simple thing like "five is greater than four" can make the password f1v3>f0ur. Easy to remember, hard to hack.

The trouble is that few criminals bother to crack passwords nowadays, when it's so easy to trick the unsuspecting into handing them over freely (gifting them to the fraudsters, as it were).

Pedantry only works when one is right. I bet he's one of those dirty Leicaphiles. 😉
