Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
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.
