How to Choose the Right Alternative

For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
