The confusion of “bring” and “take” bothers me. And so does the all-too-common double-negative “irregardless.”

Me too, but in a different way. When some one says they are going to take a nap, to where is that nap being taken (location?). Or "I'm going to take a whiz". OK. Where will you put it upon taking it?
