Sometimes, I hit return even if I know I entered a wrong password.

That's more efficient keystroke wise than backspacing or Ctrl-A Del. Faggot

However, I could optimise my life by doing C-return, which, while in keystroke context is less efficient than a return, it's more efficient in context time because it takes time for the computer to check the passwords if they match.

Sometimes, when I'm writing a word (like, you know, on paper) and I make a spelling mistake, I finish it and then cross out the whole word.
I type multi-page e-mails to my ex-girlfriend, knowing full well I won't send them, and if I did send them, she'd ignore them. Then I discard them, and cry myself to sleep.

I spent 3 days installing and setting up linux in a laptop with no battery (and it's not that I'm old, I installed gnome first and then tuned it to see if it would run well on a 1ghz proc with 256mb in ram and it didn't so I ditched it and installed openbox)
On a side note, the topic was deletion of words, not lines.

>>22 ^w. Still, I always use ^u to make sure I haven't typed any spaces in my passwords.

It doesn't take any measurable time. There's a delay if you enter the wrong password to prevent Bruce forting.
I typed (defun shrink () (interactive) (doctor))
into my Emacs *scratch* buffer, and then I invoked M-x eval-last-sexp
After that I typed M-x shrink. I don't know what happened next.
But the result was massive profit.
