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. Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
  3. Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
  4. For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
  5. Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
