From bring 3, take. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993
Bring implies movement toward the speaker, take, movement away from the speaker, so long as these directions are clear: Please bring me my coat. Will you take some cookies to your sister? Where the directions are unspecified, unimportant, or equivocal, the words are frequently interchangeable: Let’s bring [take] our raincoats with us to the game. He took [brought] her to a movie, and after they’d had something to eat, he brought [took] her home again. All these are Standard, although purists are usually quick to attack when they feel they see clear movement toward or away that is not reflected in your choice.
