Using them at all times to 'protect' a lens is neither necessary, nor desireable from a technical point of view.

Is grammar really that important?
A polarizing filter is the only filter that is acceptable for digital, because achieving the effects of a polarizer in Lightroom or Photoshop is nearly impossible.
