(ante scriptum): the opposite of a post scriptum (P.S.), seen at the beginning, rather than the end, of formal
classical letters (physical forms of
correspondence other than e-mail, fax, Skype, youtube, or phone-if anyone knows what those are anymore, in a tech
dominated world!). It can also serve as an opening N.B. statement.
boy 1) if we have a P.S., why do we need an A.S. anyways; why not just use the
classical N.B. as an opening
statement instead?
boy 2) if a P.S. exists, why not lol, f-sag invent an A.S.?
