Aggressiveness, normalcy, intuitiveness, and god help us, I recently heard someone say ferociousness, I nearly kicked the TV off the stand.
Levity aside, I have noticed that the words take and bring, seem sometimes used differently to how I am used to in the UK, bring is used when you are moving something towards someone or something, and take when you are moving something away from someone or something, so it can be down to a matter of perspective I suppose. For example I would say I am taking, and not binging, something to a party, unless I am talking to someone at the destination of party.
Language is a funny old thing...accents even more so.
