Thirty-ish Filipino-American male (native speaker):
"After she broke up with me, I was all _distrust_. ... I had to go
into dialysis to _expedite_ my illness," etc., etc.
The poor fellow sounded like a character on "Ay Mussa Nandih," as I
used to say it in my childish lisp.

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.
