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.
