It's FOETUS not goddamn FETUS you swine!
The O is there for a reason! Ever hear a brit say Foetus? There's a slight, subtle sorta.. roll (?) to the sound of the "foe" part of the word. Rather than it being FEE-TUSS, which is decidedly harsh sounding, it should roll off the tongue smoothly.
Maybe I am just overly passionate about that word in particular because of my band FOETUS in a jar (and don't you dare spell it fetus in a jar)

Dan, you have the key to my heart
Hahaha, channelling the jerk city I see
Though I'm curious as to how exactly one can "roll" the "oe" syllable in "foetus" 
And I definitely pronounce difficult exactly as it's spelled, why would anyone say "difficoolt"? (which if I understand correctly is the equivalent pronunciation of "difficoult")

Hmm, most 'murrcans, myself included, pronounce "would" pretty much the same as "wood", though...
yeah we say it as "wood" aswell, however the l does soften the word a little.
It's not somthing you'd notice unless you were listening for it though.
But I meant that the "u" in difficult is not as abrupt as it is in "cult"

Theres a chap I work with who likes to try and say 'genuinely' but always says 'generally' and I correct him every time. I don't care that I end up annoying him more than he annoys me though haha. Even though it's the oldest one in the book, "your gay" and "you left you're wallet here" and shit really grates on my nerves!
