"haven ´t
 
Is ist grammatically acceptable to say "I haven ´t money" OR "I don ´t have money" - I wonder whether it a controversial issue between British and American English.

It ´s not correct to say "I haven ´t money" you can say "I haven ´t got money" or "I don ´t have money" or "I have no money"

Think of it this way - "I haven ´t money" is actually a contraction for "I have not money".  Now you can see it ´s incorrect to say "I haven ´t money".

I don ´t think ´I haven ´t money. � is grammatically correct, but I have come across this usage in some conversations. It may be used in daily language.

"I haven ´t money" is gramatically correct, but not used.
 
"I haven ´t any money" is mainly British, and becoming stilted in its sound.
"I don ´t have any money" is mainly US.
 
"Haven ´t got" is mostly British, but many people in the US use it. I find it to be redundant.
