APPLE CIDER isn’t the same drink in the US and the UK, is it? It doesn’t contain alcohol in the US, right?

What is the "correct" English
Earlier today in an english test, we were asked to transform nouns into verbs (give the verb-form of said noun) one of the nouns were "charity" i answered with "to charit" and it was considered wrong, because it is archaic and obsolete meaning belongs to the old english and rarely ever used today (the correct answer was no answer btw!) , so this made me wonder, what is the "correct" english language. if it's the modern english, then should words modernly created by gen z such as to rizz or to ghost be considered correct?since it's wildly used by half the globe and even got recognized by the OED.

what without the T?
Recently I’ve noticed that a lot of Americans don’t say the ‘T’ in what. The only time I really hear the T is when they’re really trying to emphasize the word. Why do they do this?
Does “going” mean “available” here? Is this a common expression?

How to lower using pronoun "I" in speech?
It seems to me that in speech I very often use pronoun "I". If I want to say something about myself, I always use it, because if I try to love put it, sentences is starting to look not so good. For example "I like this music" looks better than "like this music". If I try to express my opinion "I think.." looks better for me than "think..." and I can't see any alternative expect "In my opinion...", but it looks so oficial. In the result in dialog if not in each, then through the sentence I use "I". May be I stress out overly much? Have any construction to lower use of this pronoun? Can make example in this text? ( used this pronoun seven times without citation in nine sentences including this)
Being a non-native speaker, I can confirm this

Is "to haze someone" cruel or friendly?
If you haze someone, is it for fun of both of you, or is it cruel and just to make fun of them?
Can we also say “take milk” and “take coke” and “take Mountain Dew” to mean “drink…”? Thanks in advance.
