You can choose your own seed from the dictionary that electrum uses:

Other words don't work.

Electrum is great for offline use. You don't have to set your own seed to use it offline. Just run it as you would on an online system and it will generate a truly random seed for a new wallet. Much better than a human generated seed.

I do not trust the random generator from my computer


In that case you need to look at generating an electrum seed using dice. Search the forums. There are a few guides on how to do that.

If I choose the seed words or change one of the seed words in Electrum to make a new wallet will it work?

I know we humans are not good at choosing passwords, but technicaly will the program work?

If the chosen words are truly random, how safe is this?

The plan is to run Electrum on a computer not connected to the internet to generate an address.

Thanks,

A.Z.
