You are not dumb. PS can have various meanings depending on the context it is used. Before the age of computers people would use type writers. When they forgot to include something in the letter they were typing they would just include it after the complimentary close (ie after "Yours Truly etc) instead of doing over the letter and wasting time and paper or risk making more mistakes. In this case PS means Post Script because it was written after the body of the letter was completed.
With the computer age it is no longer necessary since you can edit/preview docs b4 u print them. I really admire people who are not afraid of saying that they dont know something. Keep asking questions. Thats what they are made for and thtas how you will learn.

It is an abbreviation for the Latin 'Post Scriptum' which means , literally, after written'. You use it when you think of something you should perhaps have included in a letter but forgot and added it at the end, i.e. 'after writing'. You would just write P.S. and then add your comments.These days, of course, when many people use electronic means to type letters (word processors, computers) then something forgotten can simply be inserted wherever you wanted it making Post Scriptums obsolete. Usually it is called a Post Script.

i think of that's a modern-day worldwide vogue. i think of human beings have become dumber particularly fields like Math, technology and technologies, on an analogous time as fields like banking, finance have remained unaffected. I studied computing gadget Engineering in a college in Nigeria for a pair of years previously I got here to visit to a US college, and my own adventure (and my grades) coach that the coursework is obviously various stages much less complicated over right here interior the U.S. comparable statements could be made while comparing coursework in India, China and Japan. on the different hand, there's a relentless ideas drain from international huge to the U. S. interior the technology and math fields as thousands of persons migrate from international locations like China and India to the U. S. to start up new lives each and each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, so I dont think of the U. S. will lose its technological area for a pair of many years a minimum of. in certainty, take a walk contained in direction of the college of Engineering homes of maximum schools interior the U. S. and u will see a dominance of Asian scholars (while China gets their act thoroughly jointly, its over=)
