## Adjusting Tone
### More Warm
- Use 'you' and 'your' frequently
- Contractions ('you're' not 'you are')
- Shorter sentences
- Acknowledge the user's effort

### More Formal
- Complete sentences, no fragments
- Fewer contractions
- Title case headings
- No slang or colloquialisms

### More Confident
- Declarative statements ('This does X' not 'This can help with X')
- Specific claims with numbers
- Active voice
- Short paragraphs

## Testing Tone
Read your copy in these voices:
- Would a friend say this? (too casual?)
- Would a lawyer say this? (too formal?)
- Would you roll your eyes hearing this? (too much?)
The right tone lands between extremes.
