We say:

"He is crazy on going there" and never use "about" with gerund.


"He is crazy about going there" that is incorrect?

What do guys think?

Another question is:

I object to their going there or I object to them going there?

Is there any subtle difference between " I'm crazy about going there" and "I'm crazy on going there"?
We don't say "crazy on".

Which is more natural?

"I object to them breaking up"

OR

"I objet to their parting"

I take it " crazy on" is incorrect or it just sounds unnatural?
