Say NO to SO.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Repeatedly starting a sentence with the word 'so’ is a poor corruption of the English language and demonstrates laziness in communication. It is especially irritating during broadcast interviews on television and radio.

The Government
Ok, this may never make law, but it may make some think before starting every sentence with 'so'.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
