Darn that red, “new messages” icon
I haven’t figured why everyone still uses P.S. in e-mails, ME included. PostScripts were made when ink pens prevented correcting a letter or forgetting to add something in the main body. A Wikipedia Article states “A postscript (from post scriptum, a Latin expression meaning “after writing” and abbreviated P.S.) is a sentence, paragraph, or occasionally many paragraphs added, often hastily and incidentally, after the signature of a letter or (sometimes) the main body of an essay or book” . . . even better is their explanation on how they are obsolete in e-mails.
Wikipedia states “In the age of e-mail, postscripts have become unnecessary: any modifications or additions to the body of a letter may simply be inserted within the e-mail before sending, though the convenience of a post-scripted addition is always available. Postscripts in e-mails and on message boards are most often used when the author wants to add something totally unrelated to the main body of text, and may otherwise break the flow of the message.”

Just take two seconds to move your P.S. so it is before your sign off.

nah dude, PS is still cool. Its how we can insert something totally random that has nothing to do with the message body. For instance, when you write a girl you just talk about whatever and then, “oh yeah PS You wanna get lunch this week?”
I hope thats clear!
PS I really like working the morning shift, I’d like to do it more often
