Here is another potential Hyper-Correction...Namely
the issue of "Partial P'sukkim" which seemed to have caused little or no consternation for Centuries but has triggered a Modern Trend to Correct or Revise.  Perhaps here too the Moderns are Hyper-Correcting.


Illustration:
During Friday night Kiddush, how much of the previous Passuk should precede Vaychulu?


A. Yom Hasheeshee - just 2 word to help form Sheim Havayeh.

B. Vayhee Erev - from the Esnachta

Or
C. Vayar Elokim - the Entire Passuk
