R.3: raw pointer

The English sounds a little quirky:

"A major class of exception is legacy code"

I suggest to change that to:

"A major exception to this rule is legacy code"

Hi, as a non-native speaker, may I ask, what does quirky mean?

I see the point that "class" in the first sentence is superfluous. Although, following along that reasoning, "to this rule" added to exception is redundant too.

Hi,

That's a good idea. So I propose to change to

"A major exception is legacy code"

Quirky means peculiar.

Thank you!
