Talk:PS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] English Language

What about the english language? I mean I've always know this abbreviation to say something personal, and I'm not exactly sure of the words that this abbreviates. But I think it migh stand for Personal Sidenote. TeePee-20.7 08:39, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

In a letter, PS stands for post scriptum, from which we get postscript. As you suggest, it's used for adding an afterthought, sometimes of a more personal nature. It originated in letter writing, where one wouldn't be able to physically alter what had gone before to accommodate new ideas, changes of opinion or new events. --Tony Sidaway 15:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Verifiability

I've removed quite a lot of stuff that just happened to contain, or start with, the letters "P" and "S". That isn't what this page is for. I've retained all entries for which I can obtain independent verification that "PS" (upper or lower case) is a widely used abbreviation, or one used in the professional field with which it is associated. I've removed the rest. --Tony Sidaway 15:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
