"Ideas" is one of several words that get an extra syllable, when used by those of a certain geographic persuasion.

In my own hometown, the word for a small metallic disc used as legal tender is usually pronounced "Cohen".

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Well,
there seems to be a good argument for 2 or 3 syllables when using ideas.

How about:

pooling thoughts drain brains
watered down predictions bloat
confusion results

Kara, I did some research and there are conflicting decisions regarding how many syllables are in idea. I'll check my trusty dusty dictionary that actually has pages in it tomorrow. Interesting, isn't it?
