Format, typo, consistency check YYYY/README.md

There are many fixes made but a few questions remain so when I reach
those years I will address those then. Unfortunately, due to
infrastructure work right now, this is all I can say even though there
are a number of things I'd like to say.

Use `make` to compile entries. It is possible that on BSD or non-Unix
systems the Makefile needs to be changed. See the Makefile for details.
Read over the Makefile for compile/build issues. Your system may
require certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a
`#define` i.e. the `-D` flag).
Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be. If
yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
local compiler.
