Modula2 claims to be both statically typed and strongly typed. And your wonder at its usablity is justified. -- Please excuse my spelling as I suffer from agraphia.

If the language allows the programmer to write programs from the 'slack' domain, by saying "just trust me on this", then it's not strongly typed. What other meanings are there? I wasn't aware of the lack of consensus.

I wasn't aware of the lack of consensus. There is a difference between getting a core dump when you invoke undefined behavior on some object, or just getting an exception. You can programmatically react to an exception to do something meaningful but not to a core dump. Some people use the term weak typing to refer to languages that potentially core dump whereas they use the term strong typing for languages that don't.
