Declaring the parameter type as String already gaurantees the
parameter is of type String which makes use of "is" or "typeof"

If you losely type the variable you pass in it will do an implicit
conversion or if it is an unrelated type it will call toString(),
whichever you are still going to get a string (but not the original
object if it called toString).
Answer is dont losely type ....
