Heard in a TV ad

In a TV ad for dentistry, a 40-ish, black female speaker says:
"[Having had my teeth fixed] has made me feel much more _comfy-er_."
My WAG is that this is a morphological choke caused by appearing
before the TV camera and not something that the speaker would normally
use.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
