hello! 👋

There is no difference between afterward and ++afterward++s. Neither is more correct or incorrect than the other, and both appear throughout the English-speaking world. North American writers tend to favor afterward, while English speakers from outside the U.S. and Canada tend to favor afterwards,

Never stop learning~ 💚

"Beforehand" significa "antes" o "previamente", mientras que "afterwards" se traduce como "después" o "posteriormente". Ambos términos se utilizan para referirse a momentos en el tiempo; "beforehand" indica algo que ocurre antes de un evento, mientras que "afterwards" señala lo que sucede después. Ejemplos en contexto son: "We will meet beforehand" (Nos reuniremos antes) y "We will discuss it afterwards" (Lo discutiremos después).

Dear NASA control,

The following email is to let you know how the process of requests and installment is going to work moving forward. We have had issues regarding delays and shipment of our parts, and thus we want to be clear in how this should be done.

To start, the invoice with all the parts should be sent 1) _Beforehand_ directly to the line manager, so he can clear the purchase and validate the availability of the parts in stock. Any mods and specifications should be made clear 2) _Beforehand_ as well. Any changes made 3) _afterwards_ will not be included and will be treated as a separate request. We regret any inconveniences this may cause, but this should streamline the process and avoid possible parts misplacement.

As the parts are being assembled and packaged for transport, the courier should work together with the mechanic to verify the contents. Any discrepancies between the order contents and the checklist are to be reported immediately. Failure to do so will incur in payroll deductions to those involved and a warning note 4) _afterwards_.

When installing the parts, the corresponding mechanic will have to check and take note of serial numbers 5) _beforehand_ and then proceed to install them.

We would like for all members of the team involved to acknowledge and accept this email. Doing so will mean you have been noticed and any excuses 6) _afterward_ will not be valid.

Kind regards,

NASA Mechanics Team
