I could post a number of sources showing you your use of ideal vs idea is wrong, but like the quoted posts, I don't think you'd get it.

Carry on..

I believe if you look closely at the bold red above, you will realize you answered your own question to WG.

The word is idea. Here, let me show you the huge difference.

i&#8901;de&#8901;a

&#8211;noun

1. any conception existing in the mind as a result of mental understanding, awareness, or activity.

2. a thought, conception, or notion: That is an excellent idea.

3. an impression: He gave me a general idea of how he plans to run the department.

4. an opinion, view, or belief: His ideas on raising children are certainly strange.

5. a plan of action; an intention: the idea of becoming an engineer.

6. a groundless supposition; fantasy.

7. Philosophy. a. a concept developed by the mind. b. a conception of what is desirable or ought to be; ideal. c. (initial capital letter

) Platonism. Also called form. an archetype or pattern of which the individual objects in any natural class are imperfect copies and from which they derive their being. d. Kantianism. idea of pure reason.

8. Music. a theme, phrase, or figure.

9. Obsolete. a. a likeness. b. a mental image.

understand what your saying Hostile, but my question is this, when i get the suggestion or thought, I get a mental image;
existing as a mental image or in fancy or imagination only

best i can explain it, its like a image i see in my mind, from my imagination or thought process, like a light bulb going on showing me the image. So, then is it ideal or idea?

I can't imagine anyone would give us a half eaten cookie for Cory Procter.


Maybe a couple general admission tickets to the San Diego Zoo?

That is an idea.

An ideal is "comforming to a standard."

You say, "I have an idea we will be a good football team."

Conversely you would say, "If we were a good football team that would be ideal."

They are not the same thing.
