Recharacterize cppreference.com #2

Closed smurthys closed 11 months ago

smurthys commented 1 year ago

This PR includes edits to the README to characterize "cppreference.com".

cppreference.com is not official documentation of the C++ standards; only ISO publications are. However, cppreference.com is quite accurate though not always complete. But still, it is not official C++ docs.

BTW I'm OK if you ignore this PR and just make the edits yourself as you see fit.

Finally, thank you for putting together this repo. I think many will find it helpful.

I just notice the use of the word "official" in the heading of Appendix section in the README. I recommend deleting that word as well.

FYI I looked for an e-mail address to communicate this correction instead of creating an PR but I could not find an address. I take this opportunity to recommend including an e-mail address in the README.
