In the letter which Benedict Cumberbatch wrote to Santa Claus, I have a question.
""This is what I'd like to ask you to help with. A little more time for children to be children. Stretch the moment of magic and playfulness. Distract them from the realities of a world gone mad so that they can laugh with their breath rather than sob with their tears. "
Why is "a world gone mad" instead of "a world going mad"? Is it grammatically right?
Thanks!
Jason
