Yes, I've always understood this to be the correct terminology, but unfortunately in informal discussion among non-academically inclined software people, people use the terms wrong more often than they use them right. You get lots of people saying C is strongly typed (it certainly is not) and something like Scheme is weakly typed (it certainly is not).
