i know that i am wrong, however i still say bring is right.

twee_grrrl: maybe i will bring them each a slice of cake with a candle.
twee_grrrl: on each
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: take them
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: lol
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: crazy foreigner
twee_grrrl: no! since i am going, it goes without saying that i will be BRINGING them with me!
twee_grrrl: i am bringing them along!
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: but how can they be brought until you get there?
twee_grrrl: bring! it's a transitive verb! to be used whilst IN TRANSIT
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: but there is a word in this case for what you are going to do, and it is to take!
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: lol
twee_grrrl: no. i bring. if it is going with me, to be given to someone else, it is brought with/for. if you are arriving empty handed and acquire a good, you take it with you.
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: but that would be bringing
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: lol
twee_grrrl: i bring to you, and take from you
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: words don't sound real when you keep typing / saying / thinking them
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: bring bringing bring
twee_grrrl: i was just thinking the same thing. sounds like a sickly telephone
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: i'm going to take them a slice of pizza
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: not from
tentobutterbloodvoodoo: lol
twee_grrrl: you're just wrong
twee_grrrl: that's all
