Re: Crazy about/crazy over
I would judge that "about" is the general used collocation.
72 usages against 6 for "over" in the British National Corpus
725 against 66 in the American National Corpus.

Re: Crazy about/crazy over
Thank you dear. Could anyone tell me what does ''add on'' mean? And is there any difference between add and add on? With an example please.
