You have to be careful when adding some random characters, because most cracking software includes dictionary mangling options.

Thus, option 0ption opt1on etc all get mangled into a wordlist, while )*&HD@IHU don't. Yes, it still increases difficulty, and they are much easier to remember, but people need to be careful.
