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. Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
  3. Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
  4. For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
  5. Save two or three favorites instead of memorizing the whole list. Rotating a few keeps your wording fresh.
