Let\u2019s dive right in and see what PS means.<\/p>\n<p>PS is short for postscript, which comes from the Latin term <em>post scriptum<\/em>. That translates to \u201cwritten after.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s quite apt, considering the usage of PS. You\u2019ll add this section to an email or correspondence when you have an afterthought to share.<\/p>\n<p>While the person writing the email or correspondence could always go in and edit their thought into the body of the email, leaving out the PS, there&#8217;s something charming about writing PS in messages.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you know if you\u2019re writing PS in your emails correctly? That\u2019s simple. If you include it at the end of your message, you\u2019re doing it right.<\/p>\n<p>You should add your postscript after you&#8217;re done with whatever you had to say in the email.<\/p>\n\r\n            <script>\r\n                var EhAPI = EhAPI || {}; \r\n                EhAPI.after_load = function() {\r\n                    EhAPI.set_account('ktb76s1540fl2hnhbqnrtd2npb', 'our');\r\n                    EhAPI.execute('rules');\r\n                };\r\n                (function(d, s, f) {\r\n                    var sc = document.createElement(s);\r\n                    sc.type = 'text\/javascript';\r\n                    sc.async = true;\r\n                    sc.src = f;\r\n                    var m = document.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n                    m.parentNode.insertBefore(sc, m);   \r\n                })(document, 'script', '\/\/d2p078bqz5urf7.cloudfront.net\/jsapi\/ehform.js');\r\n            <\/script>\r\n            <script>\r\n                function waitForEhForms() {\r\n                    const interval = 100; \/\/ Check every 100ms\r\n                    const checkAndLoad = () => {\r\n                        const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);\r\n                        const elementorPreviewParam = params.get('elementor-preview');\r\n                        if (elementorPreviewParam && typeof EhForms !== 'undefined' && typeof EhForms.loadForms === 'function') {\r\n                            EhForms.loadForms();\r\n                            console.log('EhForms.loadForms() called successfully.');\r\n                        } else {\r\n                            setTimeout(checkAndLoad, interval);\r\n                        }\r\n                    };\r\n                    checkAndLoad();\r\n                }\r\n                \/\/ Call the function\r\n                waitForEhForms();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        <div class='engage-hub-form-embed' id='eh_form_5161654467690496' data-id='5161654467690496'><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/please-find-attached\/\">Read also: How To Say &#8216;Please Find Attached&#8217; In 20 Different, Smarter Ways<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formatting_and_Punctuating_PS_%E2%80%93_Everything_You_Need_to_Know\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #339966;\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\"><strong>Formatting and Punctuating PS \u2013 Everything You Need to Know<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next, let\u2019s talk further about how to make the inclusion of PS in your emails look nice.<\/p>\n<p>Formatting PS isn\u2019t difficult. There\u2019s no need to indent the PS paragraph outside of how you\u2019ve indented the other paragraphs in your email.<\/p>\n<p>You also don\u2019t have to bold or italicize the PS paragraph. The presence of the postscript initials\u00ad\u2013PS\u00ad\u2013brings enough attention to the content at the end of your email.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you\u2019ve probably seen PS punctuated two different ways: PS, as we\u2019ve referred to it this entire time, or P.S.<\/p>\n<p>So which is correct? Both are!<\/p>\n<p>Truly, it comes down to personal preference whether you\u2019ll use P.S. or PS.<\/p>\n<p>Your location also plays a role, as using periods in the postscript is more common in the United States, while omitting them is standard in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chamberofcommerce.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">United Kingdom<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s up to you which you\u2019ll choose, but consistency is essential. If you write PS, then add PPS, you should stylize it as so, not as P.P.S.<\/p>\n<p>Also, whether you use punctuation marks or not, you should always capitalize both letters of the PS acronym.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/sorry-for-the-inconvenience\/\">Read also: The Right Way Of Saying &#8216;Sorry for the Inconvenience&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Enhance_Your_Email_Marketing\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #666699;\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b>Enhance Your Email Marketing<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to make your emails more impactful?
