Very good, but I have to say - even грамотные people say “wuddaya” or “wuddayu” - this just spells out how we actually pronounce “what do you” in normal speech. Even “intelligent” people don’t take the time to say “what-do-you” unless they’re stressing “do”: “Well, if you didn’t come here looking for work, then what DO you want?” Otherwise, we ALL say “...then wuddaya want?”
