COULDN'T HAVE YOU NUBCAKE
It's 've!

what do you think 've is? "have."
Speaking out loud, Yossarian probably said "Cooh dint uv" and not "Cooh dint hav"

I'm sure he was joking, and it made me laugh. I love the reply, though-- "nubcake" has to be the most hilarious new word I've heard this year.

Agreed. Also, IMing and TXTing, where punctuation, capitalization, and grammer are virtually nonexistent, are speeding the decline.

I actually use correct capitalization and grammar when I text. I'm weird...I know.

I'm pretty sure the main problem is that most children are taught to read by way of phonics in this day and age. With phonics, of course, you do not learn how to SPELL!!!

Its always been like this. English is a terrible language in the spelling/pronounciation department.

There's a lot less reading now, this has something to do with it. I think that the largest contributing factor, however, is the general permissiveness of modern society. Today, no-one is expected to care about being correct, and anyone who does care about proper spelling and grammar is protrayed as out of touch or overly sensitive.
