I'm an editor. It's a word. Definitely.
It's the noun form of the adjective smart. Much on a parallel with clever --> cleverness.
It's just one of those words that sounds wrong because it's not so commonly used.

Suprisingly, Yes.
smartness (is a noun)
- intelligence as manifested in being quick and witty [syn: brightness, cleverness] 1: elegance by virtue of being fashionable [syn: chic, chicness, modishness, stylishness, swank, last word]

No it is not in the English language. However, smartly is. Tell your friend ti give you your damn money because you are too smart to fall for that!!

I would prefer "smarts", but since you're cute you can make up your own words...
