How to Choose the Right Alternative

  1. Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
  2. Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
  3. In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
  4. Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
  5. Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
