Most people hyper correct in the opposite direction, as in "Give it to he"
when clearly it should be give it to him.  I think the reasoning is that
because it sounds wrong, it's right.

I've never heard that in my fairly long life. 'Between he and I,' is ubiquitous and uncorrected. So is 'Whom shall I say is calling?'
