About the "Typing discipline", The weak typing is not a precise definition. So, please remove it. 36.229.47.121 (talk) 12:04, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

That typing is not enforced, is a significant characteristic of the language, so I think it should be mentioned but maybe its the term you're objecting to. It makes sense to me. See Strong and weak typing. What makes you think it's not a precise definition? How would you word it? The Dissident Aggressor 14:46, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

(ec) It is, however, how the language is commonly described. Also, what would you suggest as the alternative - type safety is a spectrum, and C falls on the "less strict" end of that spectrum, but calling it generically "not type safe", while having a more precise definition, seems less helpful.
