What Does "PS" Mean in Mail and Email?

"PS" in mail stands for Post Scriptum, which is Latin for "written after." It is used to add an additional thought or piece of information to a letter or email after the main body of the message has been completed.

Examples of PS Usage

• Follow-up Question: "PS: What time should I arrive for the meeting?"
• Additional Information: "PS: Please find the attached document with more details."
• Friendly Reminder: "PS: Don't forget to RSVP by Friday!"

While PS is a common practice, it is often seen as outdated in modern emails. Many prefer that you simply edit the main body of your message to include the additional information rather than adding a PS.
