What does mean by "Bottom Line" .. In the end of articles, essays, and many other content, there is a last paragraph with heading Bottom Line.
In know it is used in place of conclusion , as a ending of the content, as a summary. When it is appropriate to use this in place of Conclusion? Anyone could clear this up for me ?
Thanks

it means something like: in summary, in conclusion...
it's used in a more familiar context, so if your writting a paper it's probably better not use this expression.
it's more casual, like when writing an opinion column or talking to a friend:
for example two girlfriends talking about an ex: bottom line, he's a jerk.
