I am asking a question. What I think doesn't matter.
 
Alternative: second, different possibility; possibility of choosing between two or more things

Yes. Edit: Not as a substitution, but as something entirely different. As long as "Alternative, to what?" is unanswered, the only possible answer is: "Yes. it is something entirely different."
