Comments: | Changed nothing. I said on another edit I was going to drop [adj-no] here. I think 的 is the safe usage (eijiro backs this up 100%), but there seems to by plenty of の usage in the wild, and I did get a reference for it: https://kotobank.jp/esjaword/hipocrita 小学館 西和中辞典 第2版 [形] 偽善的な,偽善の. All example sentences used 的. 的 is bold, の is not. I think that の results are at least inflated by coincidental usage. Such as: こと example (not adj-no here, I don't believe): それは彼らの偽善のことです |
