How about 'realistic'?

She did not live with humans that long and lets say 700 years ago those who could write or read were even less than at present time not to mention that languages do change as well.

Plus she did not have anyone to teach her. Learning to read or write is not something you can learn with age. Its something that needs to be tought and if you do not have someone to teach you wou will never learn that, and reading is supposed to be a rarity - only nobles and churchmen could do that and not all nobles to that as well.

Not to mention that women in general where counted as lower beings to men, thus a woman able to read or write would be even more extreme rarity.

Gave this episode an 8 - its good but lack of Lawrence/Horo moments do not make it as enjoyable as the first ep was.
