It might have just been filled out on a tablet.

When I had to fill out all my job paperwork for my new job, I used pdfpen on my iPad for everything, and it looks like it was written by a toddler in crayon.

Why would you do that? I would bin any application that looked that way automatically.

It was an offer letter, not an application; and was sent to me on a Friday, and needed to be returned the same day (and I didn't have access to a printer).

It doesn't sound like he was filling out an application. It sounds like he had the job and was just filling out HR paperwork for benefits and taxes and such.

Yes, that's a good point. Some jobs have intrinsic requirements for which no reasonable adjustment can be made, and thus legal discrimination happens.
