In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
Do not stack two formal phrases back to back. One polished line plus plain language reads better.
Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
