People should care about the usage wars, because the only way people can become successful and taken seriously in life is through writing and language. As Wallace puts it we can become successful in the way we present ourselves to other people. Whether this is through writing or through conversation we must be able to do both successfully. People who use the correct grammar are going to be more successful and taken seriously than the people that write in their own dialect, because of this we must write in SWE the writing of power. This allows people to be taken seriously in what they write and present in their work. As people we can be successful on both sides when it comes to different situations. If we need to change our dialect to fit in to a different part of society a descriptivist is going to be more successful than a prescripivist, but if we write a paper or a resume a prescriptivist is going to do much better than a desriptivist. It is in these ways that we should care about the usage wars so we can be successful on both fronts. Only by having knowledge on both sides can we be successful.

This paragraph starts out pretty well because it explains my next point that i am going to make aboutthe usage wars. Some of the corrections I did delt with some unclear wording and i reorganized the sentences to flow better with the ideas i am trying to show.
