'We have a meeting tomorrow' how is this sentence correct?

Earlier this sentence was normal for me but now that I've studied the structure of different tenses, I'm pretty sure simple future tenses use 'will' with it. This sentence is, surely, not in present tense as it is talking about tomorrow.

Does “impeccable flow” sounds unnatural or weird to you?

So i am having a debate with a friend. I think it sounds unnatural to define a musical piece’s/rap song’s flow with the word “impeccable”. They say it is not. Decided to ask here.

Is it common to use “thineselves” to say “yourselves”?

I saw someone saying “you best prepare thineselves” and I’ve never seen that term before.

Is this sentence ambiguous?

Is this sentence ambiguous?

The correct answer shows it should be "give up". But I think it's ambiguous, almost like a pun or a joke. Give up what? Give up on quitting smoking?

Never use 'to' after (Request/Recommend/Insist/Suggest/Dare/Demand)?

I am starting to notice a trend where native speakers avoid using 'verb+someone+to'' structure after certain verbs. Specifically, I hear 'I suggest (that) you do it' instead of 'I suggest you to do it'. 'I recommended (that) he go' instead of 'I recommended him to go'. 'I demand (that) he leave' instead of 'I demand him to leave'. 'How dare he speak to me like that' 'I request (that) you disappear' instead of 'I request you to disappear'. So always use 'that + he/she/they/it + base form of verb' after these verbs? Am I on the right track?

been in the US since I was six, told I have an accent and sound nasally

Hi, I've been in the US since I was six, I'm seventeen now. People tell me I have an accent and that I sound nasally and like a prepubescent kid, I'm originally from Egypt and my native language is Arabic. What about it gives me away? How can I fix it? I put some voice clips below, I used this accent website and it reads me as either Arabic or Hindi/Urdu.

What's the difference between a schema and a scheme?

I guess the question speaks for itself.
