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. Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
  3. Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
  4. Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
  5. Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
