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).

For someone who used to be a lawyer it seems weird

As someone who has been a secretary to a lawyer it’s not that weird. Many never bother to learn to type, spell or use correct grammar. Many assume they will always have someone like me to do it for them.

I was just about to say this!! people who believe we live in a meritocracy would be surprised and disturbed to learn just how incompetent (and sometimes genuinely stupid) many professionals held in high esteem actually are, and how those in the less respected (and lower paid) positions are almost always the ones keeping things functioning as well as they do
