Because it isn't a variable but a type?
Did you ever read about "reserved words"? By the way, there is no such thing as "your language". Every language follows certain rules (called grammar). It is usual, for instance, to use punctuation in a well defined way to convey information to the reader. And every word has meaning. The difference is context - in a "real" language (in opposition to "computer languages"), sometimes is ok to break the rules (not always!), but this isn't the case for formal languages which compilers expect to find.
