Well, I would say *string* typing [as used in, for example, sh and tcl]
is actually a form of weak typing. But anyway, the other issue is that
strong typing is meaningless. In general it seems like weak typing means
"the existence of implicit operations (either type conversions or any
other operation between objects of different types) that I don't like".

"Duck typing" of the sort that Python has, for example, could be and
sometimes is regarded as a form of weak typing.
