The term 'strongly typed' is completely and utterly nonsensical. It has no meaning, and never did. Even if some of the claimed definitions were accurate, I see no purpose as to the reason for distinction; Why is it important to know, discuss or debate whether a language is strongly typed (whatever that may mean) or not?

This is very similar to the terms 'Web 2.0' or 'OEM', which also have no real meaning.

What is interesting to consider, is how these phrases begin, and take root in everyday communication.
