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?"

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

Add to that another common error: the use of the word "loan" as a verb! Loan is not a verb--it's a noun. The word you're after is "lend." Someone can lend you money, and it will be considered to be a loan.

Of course, this is one of those usage errors that has become so common that it is beginning to be accepted. Another blow is dealt to English as we knew it.
