Curious about P.S or P/S? What's the abbreviation in English?
If you just listen, many people will immediately think of P/S toothpaste, a fairly famous toothpaste brand nowadays, but P/S here is not toothpaste at all. Besides, surely some gamers when asked what PS is will also be confused with PlayStation, a quite popular gaming console nowadays.
P/S or P.S that we often use on Facebook is an abbreviation of Postscript in English, meaning re-writing in Vietnamese. So P/S (or P.S) = Postscript = Rewriting, not toothpaste or PlayStation.
When to use P/S?
We use P/S or P.S, re-writing, when we want to summarize a main content to convey to the recipient or viewer, or simply to add meaning.
