RIP letter 'T'

Don't know if this has been mooted before but when did the letter 'T' in the middle of a sentence become silent?
e.g. Thir'een, Four'een, Mo'or, Compu'er, Seven'y, to name just a few.
Is enunciation not taught anymore?
Most of the young people I hear exclude the 'T' .
It drives me mad to hear the English language misused in this way.
GRRR!!!
