Lie Spotting from Meyers

Everyone lies, some people lie more than others but no matter what everyone lies. In Pamela Meyers TED Talk "How to Spot a Liar" she says people will tell a lie anywhere from 10-200 times a day. After stating that fact about lying, Meyers goes on to give tips on how to spot when a person is lying. One tip is that when someone is lying they tend to be more proper using do not and can not instead of don't and can't. Another tip is that the liar distance themselves from the act or person that they are lying about. The final tip is the duping smile, this is when the liar thinks they are getting away with the lie so they start to get a little smirk. These tips are useful in spotting a liar and useful in life since everyone lies.
