​That's the problem with badly chosen names.​ I mean, what do you expect
when you give a name taken 3 years ago to your project?

Mypy is a poor name anyway, it's hard/ambiguous to spell and write [1], and
doesn't tell anything about functionality.

This is hard to understand, especially if you don't know any other language
than English, but for non-native English speakers these things really
matter.
