What the? I just left for HK and some fan page emerged from FB about Jejemons? So what are Jejemons? Well, if you are new to the term they are the people who thaYp LeyK DisZ. Which is a sense, a fist punch to the English grammar the Philippine is adopting. Would you rather read extraneously long messages and words with added consonants, and punctuations. I would rather not.
Jejemons emerged from the popular Filipino text speak. The Filipino text speak usually SHORTENS the required key punches by removing the vowels for shorten reply times. It evolved to be an added nuisance in reading. Jejemons think that they are cute when they type unusually. Jejemons can be classified as people who has rainbow caps, extra large tees and saggy pants and sometimes sports big belt buckles and very large handkerchiefs. They look threatening in real life but as harmless as a 4 year old pre-schooler when you have SMS conversations with them. I once had a classmate like that but I didn't really had any SMS conversation with HIM.
Sad to say, the degradation of proper grammar and language seems to stem from being a school drop out and fraternity involvement. My stand? Well I don't really care if they dress up like people who likes to be noticed or noticed not for their missing tooths or ugly faces (hence the handkerchiefs on their faces). I just find it frustrating to read when you are dealing with their profile and text messages. So next time, if you spot a jejemon, ignore them until they talk to you in a right manner.
P.S. I LMFAO on the facebook page after looking at the pictures of prospective jejemons and yes, they do look like uneducated Filipinos. (Remember that I am not a hater but a fact is a fact).
