Have you read what I wrote to you, about "strongly typed" being vague wording?
I think the wikipedia page does a pretty good job of describing it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_typing The bullet points in particular.
No, not the bullet points, I mean like the part at the end that says:
« For this reason, writers who wish to write unambiguously about type systems often eschew the term "strong typing" in favor of specific expressions such as "static typing" or "type safety". »
However, after dealing with types that long, I've come to believe that "static typing" is vague too.
