A free quiz: pick the reply you’d send in 12 everyday moments. About 3 minutes.

Where it works

Little to decode and little to smooth over, so threads tend to stay friendly.

Where it trips

Both kinds of text can play down what bothers them. Two “no worries” can leave a real problem sitting there, with nobody saying so.

How each can be misread

One Easy ReadNo worries at all!

Can mean
It stung a little.
Can read as
All good.

The otherPhew, thanks!

Can mean
Is that really okay?
Can read as
Glad that’s settled.

How it can go

A missed party

The otherSorry I missed your thing last night!

One Easy ReadNo worries at all!

The otherPhew, thanks!
