How to Choose the Right Alternative

  1. In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
  2. For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
  3. Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
  4. Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
  5. Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
