Considering the expression 気が遠くなるほど to describe something of a large scale or
hard to conceive, is the variant 気の遠くなるほど also correct and is there any
difference in meaning or nuance? Is there any sort of preference? While the
first appears in most dictionaries, I am encountering the second in written
form by a native from Osaka.
