The Rise of the Jejemons: New Born Jologs
I was browsing my Facebook account when I burst into laughter. Why? Simply because I saw my old photos during the year 2010 edited with so much elaboration and color. In addition to that, comments and posts made by my friends entertained me.

Jejemons became very viral during the year 2010. I remembered, it was given much attention than the ongoing election that year. It has influenced many people over a small period of time. From kids, teenagers and even to adults. Jejemon originated from the words "Jeje" which came from "Hehe" typically used to portray slight laughter and "Mons" (monster) from the animated series Pokemon (or Pocket Monsters).

But who/what are these Jejemons? Are they vampires like Edward Cullen? Werewolves like Jacob Black? NO. They are just ordinary people but has an "extraordinary skill" in writing. Urban Dictionary defines them as:

a person WhO tyPeZ lYKeS tH1s pfOuh.. whether you are RICH, MIDDLE CLASS or POOR ifpK eU tYpE L1K3 tHiS pfOuh..eU are CONSIDERED AS JEJEMON.
(noun or adj.)---a person who is very expert in typing.. a person that nevr gets tired of typing consonants in all of his comments... people with very LOW IQ a person that destroys the morale of language in any typing media like internet,cellphones...etc... a person you want to fuck off and kill an emo/gangster who owns all the possible negative qualities of a person. is the derrogative term used for a certain categorized kind of people.They type JEJEJE or JEJEJE when they want to express laughing in written words, which happen more than often. This is why we call them jejes.

In addition to that, the blogpost "What it takes to be a JEJEMON" written by akosiniko, mentioned that one can be determined as a Jejemon through three signs: Jejetyping, wearing of jejehat and posting jejephotos.

First, "Jeje typing" which basically includes sticky caps, numbers and symbols instead of letters and too much punctuation marks. Words written on this manner are apparently

    In talking about this point Castillo Guilbault notes “The impact of language in our society is undeniable. And misuse hints at a deeper cultural misunderstanding that extends beyond mere word definitions”(12). When using Jawn there’s so many possibilities when you want a specific thing. For instance, one could say “can you bring me my Jawn on the table? I'm thirsty.” This saying hints at a drink of some sort that’s over on the table that the person wants. Lastly, the word Jawn could also be referred to a more specific object like a bike if one was to use it like “My new bike is nice, that Jawn is fast,” inferring that the new bike is…

The creation of new learning and writing mechanisms as a result of the rampant writing ought to result in the integration of the various existing writing laws and not disregarding…

    Typography (from the Greek words (typos) = form and (graphe) = writing) is the art and technique of arranging type in order to make language visible. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning). Type design is a closely related craft, which some consider distinct and others a part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. In modern times, typography has been put into motion—in film, television and online broadcasts—to add emotion to mass communication.…
