[Petronski]

I hate the blurring of the distinction between 'bring' and 'take.'

Take is used if the speaker is at the starting point, bring is used if the speaker is at the destination.

The parent should say "take your homework to school with you" but the teacher should say "bring your homework to school with you."

Too often, I hear people say something like "I'm going to bring it back where I got it." That just sounds ignorant.

I hate the blurring of the distinction between 'bring' and 'take.'

Another one is 'borrow' and 'loan.'

"Can you borrow me a dollar?" instead of "Will you loan me a dollar?" or "May I borrow a dollar from you?"
