Actually, they did the right thing. But -- the Philippines [i]is[/i] a free country right? It's a democratic republic. So people have the right to chose whatever they want. How to write, how to speak

[align=center]DepEd Secretary Mona Valisno strongly ï¿½discouraged" young Filipinos from using jejemon spelling and grammar, especially in popular communication platforms such as text messaging. ï¿½Dini-discourage lang namin, pag nagte-text sabi namin kailangan buong sentence at ang spelling dapat tama (We discourage them from using jejemon language especially in sending text messages. We want them to use the correct spelling and the entire sentence in sending text messages)," Valisno said in an interview on dzBB radio Saturday. She said that communicating in jejemon might cause deterioration of young Filipino studentsï¿½ language skills. The jejemon phenomenon involves the use of different spellings of common words, and is noticeable not only in text messaging but also in social networking sites. While Valisno acknowledged some cell phone users alter the spelling of long words to meet the 160-character limit of text messages, she still encouraged young Filipinos to send texts with properly spelled words. ï¿½Nagkakaroon ng deterioration kaya ang pagte-text dini-discourage ang di tama na spelling (There is a deterioration of skills when misspelling words in text messages, so we discourage that use of wrong spelling)," Valisno said. Meanwhile, Valisno reminded students they will not be allowed to use cell phones while in school. ï¿½Bawal din po yan (Cell phones are not allowed inside the school)," she said. Valisno also encouraged parents to join the ï¿½Brigada Eskwela" yearly school cleanup this coming Monday. ï¿½Ito na-institutionalize na, sa lahat na iskwela gagawin ang gabay ng community, local residents, yan ang gagampanan (ï¿½Brigada Eskwelaï¿½ has been institutionalized. We will clean up public schools with the help of the local communities)," she said. [img]http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss270/ryanbe_rt/jejemon.jpg[/img] [quote][b]ï¿½Jejetymologyï¿½[/b] Jejemon's etymology was supposed to have started from online users' penchant to type in "hehehe" as "jejeje", either because "Jeje" is derived from Spanish, whose speakers denote the interjection as laughter, or because the letters "h" and "j" are beside each other, and that it is appended by "-mon" that came from the Japanese anime Pokï¿½mon, with "-mon" meant as "monster," hence "jeje monsters." Jejemon is a pop culture phenomenon in the Philippines. Jejemons are defined by Urban Dictionary as those "who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility and online lynch squads." ï¿½ LBG, GMANews.TV[/quote] [/align]

Re: Actually, they did the right thing. But -- the Philippines [i]is[/i] a free country right? It's a democratic republic. So people have the right to chose whatever they want. How to write, how to speak

Hahahaha.

Lmao. So using 'ahh' means you're a jejemon? Didn't know that.

I don't think so.

At times, I do use shortcuts. I won't waste time typing them whole. I mean, I don't have a cellphone and I don't type statuses at my Facebook that are in shortcuts anyway. XD [quote=3m0t10nal;#3595939;1274517758]"who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility and online lynch squads."[/quote] - Jejemons need to know how people thinks about them. And this is very embarrassing for us, knowing that Filipinos are the only ones that does this thing. Plus it is very true that this makes you misspell words. Pop culture phenomenons fades away in time anyway. So don't waste your time hating them. Let them be. They won't hurt you anyhow. If a jejemon texted you or tried to chat with you, and you don't want to communicate with them, ignore them.

[align=center]One thing about them is that, they wouldn't care anymore if they are referred to as jejemons. they are proud of themselves, anyway. they would say that it's their choice, and they have the right to express the things they wanna say in their UNIQUE way. some would even proudly say that being a jejemon means they stand out, and they are being known and easily distinguished by anyone. What made them say that? The attention we've been giving them. C'mon people. If you don't want jejemons to rule our country, better shut up and ignore them. Do your part in making them vanish just by typing not in a jejemon language. Doing that could spread the word, and it would make sense in a way. Actually, I hate those shows which feature Jejemons and more about them. It just makes everything worst. IDK. Well, these are my opinions, anyway. But still, I hope these jejemon people will soon realize that their way of making themselves known/expressing themselves is not a good one. When everything else could be simple, why make it complicated? [/align]

Jejemons are already there actually. People just discovered them Today. And just they take the action of it? Like WTH. They even make a 'call name' for it. Yeah. It seriously retarted. And now, they overacting of being Jejemons. In TV shows.

OT: Well in my opinion, real gangsters wear suits. Like those back alley crime lords.

their dress is generally hip-hop + the stupidity. Well, I have some jejemons friends and I turned them back to reality. I really said [quote=Ephemeral;#3611131;1275325278]Okay be a jejemon then. Goodluck becoming a pastry chief, a small fry or a jobless homo-sap.[/quote] this to them. Though in Tagalog with a more context meaning. But my point is, if you don't stop them. Who will? Besides a true friend stabs you in the front and kick you in the back to move forward. And jejemon isn't moving forward.

I would understand if a person texting w/ broken vowels like "2gther" to fit their msg in one send.. but like, spelling something ridiculously 1337* .. if they're going to point out every flaw a person makes, then everyone's a friggen jejemon

There's a difference between an understandable lingo & a stupidly unfathomable one.
