P.S. at the end of a letter stands for Post Script. Post=after and script=letter. After Letter message. And P.P.S. = post, post script. They are both for if you forgot to write something in the letter, and want to add it in.

"P.P.S." is what I think you mean, not P.S.S. If you use P.S., which would be used for an afterthought to what is already written, then that means "Post Script" (Post= After, Script=writing; derived from word Scriptum, Latin), then, if there is an additional thought, P.P.S. is used, meaning Post, Post-Script, and so on.

Example:

Dear JohnP.S. Post-Scripts sometimes are used to convey a thought that is completely unassociated with the topic in the main writing. (Post-script; Think: After script)

P.P.S. Sometimes they are used to list ideas completely unrelated. (Post, post-script; Think: After, post-sript)

P.P.P.S. These could continue forever as long as you add another "P". (This one is Post, post, post-Script; Think: After, post, post-script.)

P.P.P.P.S. (In other words, Post- post, post, post-script; Think: After, post, post, post-script.)

P.S. stands for "post-scriptum." It means something added after a letter or other written communication, for instance adding a detail.

Here is an example:

Dear Mom,

Thanks for the Christmas tree. It's been fun. The kids are learning how to decorate it. It's getting really pretty. Thanks for everything to put under it as well. I know the kids will be excited.

Brenda

p.s. It is really cold here; we might even have a white Christmas. You would love it.

I found a website that has punctuation for abbreviations. Look under postscript for acceptable punctuation. http://www.umw.edu/policies/style_guide/style_guide_by_category/punctuation__abbreviations/default.php

"P.S." stands for "Post Scriptum", which is Latin for "After Writing". What is usually included in a letter following "P.S." is information which was intended to be included in the bulk of the letter, but was left out by accident or forgetfulness, so it has been included at the bottom.
