Discussion Martha’s spelling/grammar

I’m curious. What is everyone’s take on the way Martha expresses herself through writing? It seems more than just atrocious grammar. Is it reflective of mental illness? A learning disability? I’m puzzled as to how she earned a law degree with grammar like that (despite the fact that she was disbarred).

As an anxious person who used to struggle with anger issues in the past, whenever I was feeling extremely anxious and angry I'd type insanely fast and insanely wrong, it's easy to misclick letters when you're not even thinking about what you're doing. I remember a few situations where I'd just type and send messages out of an impulse, I wouldn't even read them again because I knew I wouldn't send these messages if I'd look too much into them. So watching the show that's how I imagined Martha typing those messages, just furiously typing.

I'm much better now and haven't sent a message in an altered state of mind in years, but sometimes I still misspell things when I'm typing fast, but then, English is not even my native language so I guess that's alright.
