Idea Vs. Ideal

  • June 1, 2020, 1:42pm

I work with someone who says ideal instead of idea. She is very educated and smart but she has odd pronunciations for a few words. She is aware of it and says it's a regional thing. (She's from Central Ohio and most Central Ohio people don't pronounce it that way though).

My grandma pronounced it idear and was from a New York Jewish community.
