Postscript Meaning in English
word
Definition
A postscript is an extra message that is added at the end of a letter or other written document, usually after the main part is finished, often introduced with 'P.S.'.
Usage & Nuances
'Postscript' is mainly used in informal or personal letters; in emails, 'P.S.' is still common to add afterthoughts. Formal business writing rarely uses it. It comes at the very end, after the signature. Can be pluralized as 'postscripts' if more than one, but 'P.P.S.' is often used for a second note.
