How to Choose the Right Alternative

In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
