***** Usage notes
- In Commonwealth countries other than Canada, _mad_ typically implies the _insane_ or _crazy_ sense more so than the _angry_ sense.
- In the United States and Canada, the word _mad_ refers to _anger_ much more often than _insanity_ , but such usage is still considered informal by some speakers and labeled as such even in North American English by most UK dictionaries. This is due to an old campaign (since 1781 by amateur language pundits) to discredit the _angry_ sense of the word that was more effective in the UK and Ireland than in North America. Though not as old as the sense denoting _insanity_ , the sense relating to _anger_ is certainly very old (going back at least to the fourteenth century). [1]
- On the other hand, if one is described as having " went mad " or " gone mad " in North America, this denotes _INSANITY_ , and not anger. Meanwhile, if one "is mad at" something or has "been mad about" something, it is understood that one is _ANGERED_ rather than insane. In addition, such derivatives as "madness", "madman", "madhouse" and "madly" _always_ denote insanity, irrespective of whether one is in the Commonwealth or in North America.
