How to Choose the Right Alternative

  1. Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
  2. For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
  3. Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
  4. Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
  5. In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
