Note
A short adjective takes the short ending: mad adds -est rather than leaning on most, and the final d doubles before the suffix. The form carries whichever meaning of mad is in play, from the most foolish plan to the angriest customer to the wildest excitement, so context does the choosing. The "angry" reading is US and informal, while "insane" belongs to the British Isles.
