The one with the horrid poem that reminds us that Mike defines loving him as allowing him to drift through life in a fog where he doesn't have to do anything to justify his existence.
I'm guessing that Martha really said that if she wrote back to him in coherent English, he would get bent out of shape. There is a reason I bludgeoned a comic into having her compare his writing style to squiggly lines in Zulu.
That he is. Lynn wants us to think that he's good, but she continually made the mistake of showing examples of his work. I suspect Lynn's ego was getting the better of her. She thought her own writing was good and wanted to get praise for hers/Michael's writing, so she would show it off. However, if she had never shown an example of Michael's writing, then we could at least imagine it was good. As it is, it just becomes an example of how a terrible author manages to make money in spite of their lack of talent. It's like Michael demonstrates how Fifty Shades of Grey or Twilight were very successful, while critics were amazed at how poorly they were written.

Godawful writing is bad enough but his need to turn a minor reverse into a yuuuuuuuuuuuuuugge crisis is annoying.
