I find it amusing that the first look Google gives me on strong vs weak typing says there like static vs dynamic typing. Then wiki says there is no strong definition for either term. Maybe it would be easier to drop those terms and go one level deeper?

There isn't too much confusion, but people bend over backwards to avoid having their type system called "Weak."
