Hypercorrection occurs when a speaker, in an effort to use correct or prestigious language, mistakenly applies a language rule in situations where it does not apply. This often happens when individuals try to avoid using informal or nonstandard forms but end up overcompensating and using incorrect forms instead. Hypercorrection is commonly seen when people attempt to sound more formal or educated, but misunderstand certain grammar or pronunciation rules, leading to errors. It reflects a speaker's sensitivity to language norms and the desire to conform to standard or prestigious usage, even if it results in mistakes.
