Can anyone provide a reference to hypercorrection other than comical in such words as chicking, kitching, fashing for chicken, kitchen, fashion.





See the DARE entry for -ing (Section B) as well as section II.12 of "Language Changes in American Folk Speech" in the Intro to Volume I (p. xxxviii).
