  2. Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
  3. Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
  4. Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
  5. Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
