This is one I see (and hear) all the time!
An idea is a thought. “I had a good idea,” or “That’s the best idea I’ve heard all day.”
Ideal means that something is exceptionally good, even perfect. “Writing is my ideal job.” It can also mean that someone or something stands as an example of perfection. “He is an ideal father.”
