#fine tunning. This recommendation replaces a previous one, published on July 10, 2017, to include the modification of the Panhispanic dictionary of doubtsin which the agreed use of happy.

So much crazy happy as crazy happy are considered adequate expressions to indicate that one is ‘extremely cheerful’.

In the media you can find phrases such as “They were crazy happy when they returned to California”, “The presenter is crazy happy with her new program” or “Everyone in the federation is crazy happy with the new changes”.

He Panhispanic dictionary of doubts indicates that, in the expression mad with happinessthe habitual in the cultured use is to consider that happy is a noun that is equivalent to happinessso it must remain unchanged (They are crazy happy). However, he adds that a non-reprehensible use has been established in which happy is considered an adjective and, therefore, agrees in gender and number with its referent (They are crazy happy).

So the above examples are all appropriate.
