And someone would (or should) ask what does "frequently" mean, and that is
what I am trying to quantify.
(But, in paying some more attention recently, frequently I try to save every
time I pause while editing, which is sometimes after each sentence, and I
spend 12 or hours most days editing such files (well, maybe 2 to 4 hours
actually editing, the other time being spent reading / researching.)
