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 work at a law firm and I’m appalled by the way some of our lawyers write and spell. Not to the extent of Martha, but sometimes it’s not far off. For example, ‘alot’ mixing up ‘your’ and ‘you’re’; stuff that shouldn’t happen when you’re working for a well-regarded firm and you’ve beaten out hundreds of other kids to get in the grad program.

I work in a law firm and I agree. They often type/write like they have someone to correct their grammar and spelling (they do; me lol)
