These are all nonsense style guidelines that you invented yourself. We
already have too much pointless bureaucracy. If you can't understand
the documentation or if there are typos then, sure, fix that. But let's
not invent new rules.
(Also it annoys me when people pretend to be stupid "I can't understand
what a NULL deference is. Ohhh... You mean a NULL *pointer*
dereference! You left out the word *pointer* so I didn't understand!")
