Casting the pointer is OK, explicitly typing the pointer is even better; then the arithmetic is even clearer and it is easy to add offsets in words! However what I'd prefer here as the size of the type is important, to use `uint16_t` or typedef instead of just `unsigned short`, which is a statemeent that the value must be at least "2 bytes wide".
