How to Choose the Right Alternative
- Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
- Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
- Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
