Talk:PS

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)
 * We have articles on the late 1950s songs P.S. I Love You, and (a little off-topic) Sealed with a Kiss. --Jerzy•t 09:07, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

(Arabic equivalent)
Guidance added at a position out of chronological order of being contributed:    Look over at the graphic at the right margin, slightly below here, lest you miss the point of what i've now broken out as its own peculiar section!--Jerzy•t 09:07, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I dunno how to get the graphic with Arabic characters (an Arabic equivalent for this English sense of PS, i'd guess, if not a cruel joke) to snuggle up close to the left margin. And i presume that if i succeeded, the graphic might then, if copied to an Arabic page or site, get lost. But i'm pleased that throwing in 3 otherwise gratuitous linebreak characters forced the graphic to display above, rather than below, the sig that must have been intended to delimit the content of the edit that added the graphic! --Jerzy•t 09:07, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Post Script - PS
why isnt this on the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.236.218.68 (talk) 12:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems to me this has been appropriately responded to by now. --Jerzy•t 09:12, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

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)
