Ну дак с этого и надо было начинать.

А то получается принцип испорченного телефона. Мы не знаем, что Вы знаете и что уже прочитали из цитируемого.
Вот кстати информация из той ссылки.

[u] vs [ju] etc.
Commonwealth speakers insert [j] before [u] (a glide) after more consonants than do American speakers. Both distinguish coot from cute, but most Americans do not distinguish do from due or dew. The major exception among American English is in the Southern dialect, which closely follows the Commonwealth usage. The relevant consonants are [t], [d], [θ], [s], [z], [n], [l].
Many Commonwealth speakers no longer insert [j] after [l] or [θ], or after initial [s] or [z]. This is called yod dropping. For them as for Americans 'lute' usually sounds like 'loot' (/luːt/), and 'sue' like 'Sioux' (/suː/); but for all Commonwealth speakers 'assume' is /əˈsjuːm/ or /əˈʃuːm/, not /əˈsuːm/ as in America.
[dj] and [tj] tend to mutate to [dʒ] and [tʃ] except perhaps in careful speech. This is called yod coalescence. Thus Commonwealth 'tune' becomes /tʃuːn/ rather than /tjuːn/. Both contrast with American /tuːn/.
The British–American distinction only applies to stressed syllables. Americans and Commonwealth speakers alike say /kənˈtɪnˌjuː/ for continue. Combining this with yod coalescence, many Commonwealth speakers will pronounce residual as /ɹɛˈzɪdʒuəl/ and statue as /ˈstæˌtʃuː/, the same way as Americans. The [j] is preserved even if lack of stress alters the quality of the vowel so it is not [u], for example, penury /ˈpɛnjəri/.
In Commonwealth English, the glide never applies where [u] is spelt 'oo' or 'ou'. Hence 'noon' and 'douche', like 'coot' and 'mousse', sound the same in Britain as in America.
Reversing the general pattern, American English, but not British English, has [j] in 'figure', and (for some speakers) 'Houston' and 'coupon'.
