That's a pretty clean writing style: In the first 80% of the edit, pg's re-editing is mostly to find better ways of saying what he just wrote, but -at least compared to mine- pretty light in terms of correcting mechanical issues of text formation: most of his mechanical corrections are deleting the typo-ridden last word and rewriting it.
I note also that pg's rephrasing most often consists of deleting the end of the paragraph back to where he was last happy with it and rewriting (we can call this the clean-slate approach), rather than editing the section to transform just those parts of text that should change (the conservative approach I use). I think the conservative approach is faster, but it introduces more errors. I guess the overall cleanliness of pg's writing style is related to this. I wonder if I should try to change to a more clean-slate writing technique.
