We are familiar with the likes of Willie Revillame sprouting furious words on perceived abuses, and the objects of his ire replying in kind. We have seen congressmen and senators ranting from their podiums, delivering long, fiery speeches that are usually shot down by fellow politicians. In our society, word wars are nothing new, but the latest one is leaving many of us quite flabbergasted. It is not about the PCOS or CF cards or any such techno-mumbo either, although the elections and its results remain uppermost in our minds. This time, the war is being waged against Jejemons — or that new style of communications taken up by a segment of the youth that has been receiving flak from everywhere, especially the Department of Education (DepEd). Of all monsters, perhaps the most annoying are the Jejemons, that so-called new youth subculture that has developed from playing with spellings and evolved into a whole way of life, it seems. One blogger is quoted by Noemi Lardizabal-Dado, features editor of the Philippine Online Chronicles who wrote about this movement recently. In reaction to her piece, “momblogger” said, “Jejemon are the new baduy people who text Jejejeje when laughing via text. Or say crap like wer n u? Dito n me.” Source: The Daily Tribune URL: http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100526com4.html |
