Communications experts have discussed several strategies people can use in order to seem smarter, from the worthwhile (dress more like a teacher than like a kid) to the downright silly (if you don't need eyeglasses, wear the frame, with or without plain glass, anyway). These, however, are strategies we can actually use to be smarter. They're recommended to anyone who might, say, want to publish things on the Internet, where nobody necessarily knows anything about us except the ideas we choose to share.
