Hypercorrection
An error that happens when someone is being very careful to avoid a di"erent error,
or when they make a false analogy with a correct form.
For example, if someone usually has trouble pronouncing /v/ and says /b/ instead,
they might try so hard to say /v/ that sometimes they say /v/ even when /b/ is
correct. (They say /voy/ for boy.)
