Old thread I know but I just googled both and it seems even thought it's the incorrect spelling, there's almost 10 and a half million results for havn't!
Also, nearly three quarter's of a billion results for haven't. I think I just got it. Is there not another abreviation where the e is dropped? |

How about I'D - as in "I'd love a cup of coffee." The apostrophe takes the place of four letters in that one!
