  2. Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
  3. Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
  4. Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
  5. Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
