Bring and take
Is anyone else beginning to wonder if the words 'take' and taken' have got lost somewhere in the ether? I am reading the word 'bring' and brought' used when I expect to read 'take' and 'taken'. I recall my son saying "I'll bring that to Uni" and I said quite defintely (being the pedantic mum I am), "No, love, you'll take it to Uni but you could ask me to bring it with me when I visit" (a hopeful mum as well as a pedantic one you understand). However, I am reading both fanfiction and regular fiction and hearing on the TV and in regular speech 'bring' being used in the exact same way my son used it.
So I ask you, have the modern meanings of take and bring changed? Is it no longer the case that you take things to other people and locations and ask them to bring things to you and your location, (i.e. bring with, take to) or am I just getting old?
