Avoid sarcastic or funny alternatives in serious conversations. Tone misfires are hard to unsend.
For texts, shorter is almost always better. Trim any alternative that takes more than one breath to say.
Read the alternative out loud before sending. If it sounds like something you would actually say, it is ready.
