I was synthesizing some text to speech and had a list; e.g.
- Something
The American voice goes: "one" <pause> "something"
The Canadian goes: "one" "dot" "something".
In any case, <pause> was too slow and I had to remove the period altogether to get decent speech.

That's the trouble with foreigners, they all talk funny.

It's a problem with your TTS engine, not Canadians.

It's not "my" engine, it's MS, using their installed voices. Further to that, the female voices sound more intelligent (and also pronounce better).

I just tried the same thing as you. My results:
The American voice goes: "one" <pause> "something"
The Canadian goes: "one" "dot" "something, eh?"

Canadian voice is honest; the American voice will leave you confused between "1." and "1,". Not that I have tried this, but it would be fun to see where the collision occurs.

...and what is the compiler supposed to think is the implied type?

It's JavaScript because it's interpreted by the victor.

|
Of course, there could also be...
auto war;
If the compiler were inspecting at variable names for possible type information, it just might treat that as volatile.
|

War should never be variable: it would never end, or indeed compile ...

That's valid JavaScript, but what is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

If it's chaos you want, do it this way
var war = null;
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Wouldn't null be the absence of chaos?

You probably would not like to let it in, instead, as in -
let war;
|
|
|
|
|
|
hmm ... is it a long war; or a short war;
