Goodness sake, it was hard for me to type the title of this blog.I kinda fret.
Anyway, you may encounter them in the text messages or even in social networking sites. The infernal hearsay about this so-called "Jejemon" is spreading like wildfire in the woods. It looks like it's the new "in". And as a frustrated (ehem) writer, it kinda freaks me out. With elicit response of "ha? Ano daw?" from readers who seem oblivious and unfamiliar with their "very own, weird lingo", they should toss a cheer for successfully caughting our and even Yahoo!'s attention. Bravo jejemons. Bravo. You did a job well done.
Before the jejemon came out from nowhere (and where the hell they got the word "jejemon", anyway?), loony and gobbledygook way of texting (or even typing) wasn't seem attention-stealer at all. That was, when those times, texting in that way is not yet so damn wordy and ambiguous. It is as if, as time and technology innovates, people gradually loss importance on fluency. Another tendency of indolence. Or it may have been a byproduct of a language evolution? (What the hell is language evolution, anyway?) But hey, we, the Juan dela Cruz, is the trendsetter of this stupid word passion. It made me cringe though. Fortunately, it hasn't gone international yet. NO! Don't even plan to. It's a downgrading disposition. It derogates the Filipino-literacy image. Ironically, we're known as one of the most fluent Asians in English language, both in speaking and writing. And now what? With this pop-issue, what may have the foreigners think of us now? Insane, lousy texters? Trendsetters of foolishness for limelight's sake? And what's your bottom line in this? It's like your making yourself into an illiterate Filipino. Admit it, texting in that way is so tiresome. Your making simple word into a complex, insane one. So complex that an average texter couldn't able to understand. They actually right, go back to elementary to revert your literacy. While it's not yet late and the word jejemon hasn't yet reach the Mr.Webster publication, go change and minimize the way you text and type.
I'm not saying that you should text the whole word. Hello! Cellphones were made for our convenience (well, unless you have a lot of load). Just make simple shortcuts. Minimize for eye-and-mind-friendly text messages. And why the hell you're smothering h,w,x,z in almost each word? Do you think it's cute? Well, not anymore. Go search the Google for jejemon's meaning and let's see what can you say.
