It depends who I'm speaking to.

If I'm speaking informally to mates, probably more like jew-tee.

Otherwise, if I'm speaking in a more formal manner, I'd say Due-tee, and emphasise the D and T.

Doo tee.

Du-ty, like a normal person would.

Where the F*** do you get a J from?!?!

I have NEVER heard someone say "Juty."

Do you open a Joor?

Do little girls play with Jolls?

No, because that would make no Jam sense.

EDIT: Thinking about it, Americans might pronounce Due differently, so it sorta comes down to the accent

Due-tee.

Due- tea....just like it's spelled. Why would it be pronounced differently?LJS9502_basic

Um, possibly for a number of reasons.

1. It's a product of where you're from, how you're brought up, and how the people in your city/region/country say things. For example, people in the States don't say words like tomato, Brisbane, Melbourne, paedophile, primary, secondary (and many more) the way I would say them, or the way people where I live say them. Strange that, eh?

2. The words honour, colour, parlour, neighbour, favour, mum, analyse, criticise, memorise, enrolment, fulfil, skilful, centre, metre, theatre, analogue, catalogue, dialogue, encyclopaedia, manoeuvre, mediaeval, cheque, arguement, judgement, defence, licence, jewellery, dreaghut, pyjamas, plough, programme and tyre (and many more) are all spelled differently in the States, for some obscure reason. Many of these words have been changed so they're spelled as they would sound phonetically - but they were never originally like that. Since there are many words that are spelled differently to the way they sound, why would you immediately respond with "Just like it's spelled. Why would I pronounce it differently?". My point is, just because something is spelled a certain way, doesn't automatically mean it will be said exactly that way.

A D only ever sounds like a J when there's a U after it, and you'll find it only applies to the UK and Australia because of their respective accents. Gosh.

Oh for heaven's sake, Oxford clearley states it is pronunciated "/ˈd(y)o͞otē, /".

Please, find me some other dictionary that says otherwise.

A Scot saying the words "Don't do it" would pronounce it something like "Daunt Du uht".

Now, can you explain to me how his or her pronunciation (by your standards) has not been affected? How do you define what pronunciation is "correct"?

And Oxford clearly states that paedohphile is pronounced ˈpiːdə( ʊ )fʌɪl, Brisbane is pronounced ˈbrɪzbən, Melbourne is pronounced melbən, tomato is pronounced təˈmɑːtəʊ, etc.
