"I'm dumb, aren't I?" vs "I'm dumb, ain't I?"

I can't get why so many people consider "ain't" as bad English while "aren't I" as a tag question is considered totally correct grammar. Do you use only "aren't I" as a tag question for the first person? As an English learner, should I never use "ain't"?

"a friend_dof mine" OR "a frien_nof mine"

I have read in a textbook that "t" or "d" ending sounds are normally silent. Is it always true?

Shouldn't have it been "for" instead of "over"?

If “Psycho” is pronounced “sai-kow” why is “Psychopath” “sai-kuh-path” and not “sai-kow-path”?

Why is schwa (ə) pronounced in Pychopath if the Pyscho word alone is pronounced as "sai-kow" ?

American English vs English Britain

I want to use British English instead of American English. Won’t this be a problem? Since there are words that are the same but have different meanings?

Does a T-shirt with words like that look weird to a native speaker

Does a T-shirt with words like that look weird to a native speaker

I've seen some "strange English on clothes" meme so I'm curious. for example, this outfit literally has a picture of a landscape tagged with its name and address. Is that weird? I also had a hoodie that I realized the picture on it was just a map of all rivers in a certain part of the United States with some village names on it... I had never noticed the English on my clothes before I planned to visit an English-speaking country. I've already picked out a lot of clothes that I absolutely can't wear because some of them literally have stuff like 'Turn into a werewolf' written on them, which is really cringe lol.
