Jejemon – a combination of the words Jeje (from Hehe) and mon (from Pokemon).
People say that if you’re a person fond of typing “gud am pfoe, muztah na u” or “omg mah fw3nd farted jejeje” or other similar words in chat rooms, forums and other social networking sites, you are considered a Jejemon.
This is text and chat culture stupidity, making Filipinos old and new generation, lose their writing and spelling ability back to 4-year old brains which stemmed out from text-speak trend. Like how text-speak became so popular, this is no exception as they are just the same.
All companies hiring applicants, old or new graduates, should make this a policy to fail applicants that cannot spell properly on exams and essays as this will reflect the companies image when they hire these people to talk to their clients or partners. I know most companies who are strict in spelling skills and I know some people who have failed in their exams. If your family, telecoms or law fails, the company youre going to apply to next will teach you a lesson.
The term “Jejemon” is rapidly becoming popular now. So are you one of them??
Thanks. Now I know what this 'jejemon' fuss is all about. Actually, I understand these so called jejemons for statements like 'how r u?' 'who u?' and so forth provided they are using phones with T9 keypads. But for all others like emails and chatrooms, hmmm.... That will be a whole new ballgame. Sayang naman ang keyboard. Hehehehe.
