Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse the full word postscript with the abbreviation P.S. In actual letters and emails, P.S. is much more common in writing, while postscript is more common when talking about it (for example, He added a postscript). Learners may also write it before the signature; in standard layout, the postscript comes after the signature line.
