Do you pronounce tube as toob or choob?
And Tuesday as toosday or choosday.
And duty as dooty or jooty?

Or do them pronounce them differently?
How are they supposed to be pronounced?

I guess the second options on each, but not quite.

Pronouncing the T is an american thing (or maybe just New York)

Thanks guys. I don't think I stick to saying each word just one way, but noticed other people pronouncing them differently. Still not sure which is the correct way

Alternatives are American pronunciations. Also, know someone from Derby who pronounces them that way as well.

Ok, ok, I see the pedants have corrected the spelling of the pronunciations. But, I know what OP means, I think

How do you pronouce SOOT and SUIT?

DH from Surrey says s-u-t (can't tranliterate but rhymes with put) and S-yewt.

I say s-oot for both. (I think that is the regular Scottish pronunciation but as I an always accued of being English I am not sure)
