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.
