What is the difference between insane and mad and crazy ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- English (UK)
they're all largely the same and can be used interchangeably. however, most usage involves exaggeration. I've called a lot of people and actions 'insane' but I've yet to meet a truly insane person.
