How to Choose the Right Alternative
- Adjust one word to make it yours: swap a name, a detail, or a reference only the two of you share.
- 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.
- Match the register to the reader: professional for work, casual for friends, flirty only where it is clearly welcome.
- In emails, pair a formal opening alternative with a warm closing one to sound polished but human.
