Rejected petition A petition in favour of the correct use of the English language

More details

Any petition that fails to demonstrate a rudimentary understanding of the English language through the misspelling of basic words should be ignored. This includes the petition calling for people to "loose (sic) benefits". If somebody cares strongly enough about an issue, the least they can do is check that their petition makes sense before posting it.
