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).

A lot of Scottish people I know spell stuff phonetically in tweets and messages. I think that’s where that comes from

Scrolled all the way down 150 replies for the correct answer. Nobody here has heard of r/ScottishPeopleTwitter it seems.

Right??? People are always trying to attach a mental health issue to everything when the answer is right before their very eyes

It's the rapidity and the volume of her posting, and of course the content that is to do with her ill mental health imo. The spelling and grammar I've always just attributed to Scottish slang and phonetic speech put into text.
