Do you appear smart if you have an accent and use big words?

Question

Or if you simply don't have an accent and use big words? Which one?

Answer 1

Well, having a REAL accent is cool, but it doesn't necessarily make you sound smarter. Using big words makes you sound smart if you use them correctly, but if you don't know how to use them, or if you try to fake an accent, then you'll sound like you're not so bright.

Answer 2

you don't need an accent, but use big words. I do that all the time. Just don't get caught by a real smart person who might know what the words mean

Answer 3

You only appear smart if you actually know what the big words mean. Accent doesn't matter.
