hypercorrect

Nonstandard because of a mistaken idea of standard usage.

To change (a word or phrase) to a nonstandard form, or to another option among a set of accepted alternative-form options, in the mistaken belief that the form used was wrong.

And that's exactly what McKenna and crew have been so careful to do.
