Rejected petition Make ‘Nextly’ a real word

To make ‘Nextly’ a real word

More details

In my English Exam I wanted to use the word ‘Nextly’ to start my second paragraph and couldn’t. So I think if I had made ‘Nextly’ a word it could help more kids use better vocabulary in their exams and improve grades.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government isn't responsible for recognising new words.

Words become part of common parlance through regular usage, and indiviudal dictionaries will have their own tests for when they add a new word.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
