Assalamualaikum,
Hari ni saya nak kongsikan tentang perkataan p.s aka ps. Bila kita hantar resume berbahasa Inggeris atau surat rasmi berbahasa Inggeris anda pasti perasan ada notasi p.s tersebut.
Maka saya kongsikan apakah maksud p.s aka ps. tersebut dan bilakah penggunaan yang sepatutnya atau sebenar-benarnya.
Meh kita baca artikel berkaitan notasi tersebut yang dipertik dari laman wise geek
In a written communication, “P.S.” stands for the Latin phrase post scriptum,
which means “after writing.” It is meant to reflect the fact that the
text marked with “P.S.” was added after the other material had already
been written, as an afterthought. You may also see a “P.P.S.” below a
“P.S.,” and potentially one could create a cascade of “P.P.P.S.'s” and
“P.P.P.P.S.'s,” although this is generally viewed as bad form.
There are a number of reasons to add a post scriptum,
known as a postscript in English. Most commonly, people include a
postscript when they remember something right before mailing a letter,
and wish to addend it rather than including it in a future
communication. For example, someone might remember that his or her
address has changed, and add “P.S. My new address is...” so that the
reader will be alerted to the fact that the old address is no longer
valid, in case he or she misses the change in the return address section
of the envelope.
A P.S. may also be used to add a comment to a written
document, as in the case of a writer who wants to expand upon something
in a letter without interfering with the flow of the letter. Postscripts
are often included in books for much the same reason, and to allow
writers to thank people who have contributed to the work.
Acknowledgments might be cumbersome in other areas of the book, but they
are entirely appropriate in the postscript. Authors also use
postscripts to provide additional information, such as lists of
resources readers might be interested in.
A P.S. can also be included to add a more informal touch to a formal
communication, as in “P.S. George and the kids say hello,” reminding the
reader of a personal connection to the writer. Formal letters may also
use the postscript as a tool to provide more information about the
context of the letter, although the postscript is relatively rare in
formal business communications, since such communications are supposed
to be carefully composed, without any unnecessary addendums.
Additionally, postscripts are occasionally used in pre-printed letters
to add a personal note to a form response.
You may see P.S. written as “PS,” and both terms are generally
viewed as stylistically acceptable. Writers should be careful about
employing the postscript, as it can be a highly useful and sometimes
charming writing tool, but it can become irritating if it becomes a
habit. Especially when composing formal correspondence, using a
postscript can devalue the seriousness of the letter, so people should
think carefully before adding a “P.S.”
