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.

<p>Rule 22, now known as “Catch 22” states:</p>
<pre><code> 22) Your source code, data files, remarks and program output must NOT
identify the authors of your code. The judges STRONGLY prefer to
not know who is submitting entries to the IOCCC.
The &quot;Peter Honeyman is exempt&quot; guideline also applies to this rule.
Identifying yourself, in an obvious way in your code, data, remarks
or program output, unless you are Peter Honeyman or pretending
to be Peter Honeyman, will be grounds for disqualification of your entry.</code></pre>
