Why include the letters Std then? This seems like a purposeful typo-squatting effort and definitely makes me suspicious.

yep, glad you pointed that out. To explain a bit more : MisraStdC is 3 parts : Misra + Std + C - Misra is derived from my name. That's why I needed to specify that the repo is not related to the MISRA standard.

How does MisraStdC = Siddharth Mishra?

Misra and not Mishra? You randomly drop the h? And it just so happens dropping the H makes it a typo squat basically.

Siddharth has a T after the D. So std should be sdt.. at best.

Just be honest lol
