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.)
