lets get this striaght, the moon is constantly in orbit around the earth, so whether or not its in the sky is just symantics.

Hahaha, and you think you are smart?
Depends on your definition of smart. If you define “smart” with academic achievements or IQ then yes I am smart. But if your idea of a smart person is there grammar abilities then you will find me quite ignorant. But how smart I am is irrelevant it all depends on how smart my peers are. and when I'm around people I went to college with and High school with I am the smartest one around so I consider myself smart.

You never defined what your definition of a smart person was so I will use mine.
A smart person is some who excels above there peers in the majority of fields.
Using that definition I am smart. In high school I was in all advanced classes except for English classes never having liked English due to dyslexia. I graduated a year early at 17 and scored a composite score of 32 on my ACT’s giving me a full ride scholarship to ASU, UofA, or Nerd College DeVry. DeVry was much more expensive so I chose that college. Graduated with a 3.75 damn English classes prevented the 4.0, and took an 8 hour IQ test for extra credit in psychology and scored a 138 on it (100 is average) Got hired at Intel as a data analyst and have been working there for 2 years now.
So thought out High school and college I was considered smart by all. But now I work directly with 2 MIT grads ,1 Harvard grad, and an old dude who was alive when the first computers were made so around them I am just average so again it all depends on who you are comparing yourself too which is why I love stupid people because they will always make me look very smart.
But considering this is an online web forum it is imposable to tell who your peers are you could be a rocket scientist, high school drop out or a 9 year old who can spell.
