What Does P.S. Mean?


The next time you’re writing a letter—or hey, even a text message—keep this in mind.  Post script iis the term abbreviated as P.S.  In Latin, “post scriptum” means “written after.”  Since post scripts are placed at the end of correspondence, it makes sense that “written after” is the definition behind the term.  More than one P.S. can be used after the end of correspondence.  However, while many people think the proper abbreviation would then be P.S.S., the proper abbreviation is P.P.S.:  post-post scriptum.
