Dec 11, 2019 at 19:14 comment added Chaim I would say (off the record) that most of us Americans would consider the r-sound at the end of "idea" as a regional accent and not as the correct pronunciation. I imagine that most people who pronounce "idear" would agree, as would most people who do not. I don't know what rule explains the fact that some people attach the r-sound to this word but not to other, apparently similar words. But you may have no reason to try to imitate this habit by including r's wherever this accent would.
