Abbreviations in English

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

PS means Post Script, normally people write it at the end of the message or letter. It is normally the most importation information that the sender wants the receiver to know.

By way STD means sexually transmitted disease. haha :facepalm:

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

yeah in English "Post" is the opposite of "Pre"

Pre = Before [Something] i.e. Pre-Party (a pre party is a party before the main party, a warm up party)
Post = After [Something] i.e. Post Traumatic Stress (used to describe the mental condition of someone after a traumatic incident)

so in this case Post Script, is a piece of writing/information that is written after the main bulk of the message/letter


also another 2 for you
i.e. = id est = That is (used when elaborating on a previous statement)
e.g = exempli gratia = For Example (used when giving examples on a previous statement)
