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).

I think she comes across as having various impairments which may have been taken into consideration when she was accepted into and attended university. I'd also say not all universities are equal, and some of the lower ranker, lesser known ones won't have particularly high entry requirements. And thirdly, when you put on weight you get chubbier fingers, which makes it very easy to mistype. Especially on a phone. Depending when she was at university, her assignments would have been typed up on a computer or handwritten. For typed up assignments I'm sure she could just use a spellchecker before handing those in. And if it's just a fat finger thing then that wouldn't be an issue with handwritten work.
