You completely missed my point, as evidenced by the fact you appear to believe I just claimed that when I in fact claimed the exact opposite, which is that since darned near nothing is "untyped", that's not a useful concept to use in discussing whether something is "typed" or not.
Assembler is truly untyped. Forth is untyped. Tcl is not untyped... it simply has a built-in coercian rule that it'll turn everything into strings if it doesn't like what you do to it. It's as close as you can get, but it isn't untyped.
A concept that describes only two languages is not all tha useful.
"They'd like to bend the terminology in a way which helps them promote static typing, for example by equating all types with static types."
Again, the fact that you appear to have completely missed my point is evidenced by the fact that I drew a distinction whereby languages may be "dynamically" or "statically" typed but darned near nothing is "untyped".
With all due respect, you're not in a position to be claiming that other people are "fanatics"... you don't have the information to come to that conclusion because you appear to be incapable of reading what people say, because you've already decided in advance what they're going to say. Yes, that makes the world look like... well... anything you want, really, but it's not a true description. You are not in a position to be complaining about other people's "critical thinking" skills when you yourself aren't even accurately gathering information with which to critically think.
