How to describe changing water flow in shower?
Do you say "turn (the tap) to stronger/weaker water"? In my native language, we would say "turn / open / adjust to bigger / smaller water".

Edit: I'm natively fluent and don't need help. Just thought i'd showcase the word because it's just a bunch of S's and E's except for the A
Using the Word Joes
I learned this new word but I'm having issues trying to imagine how to use it and understanding the meaning behind using it I'd appreciate your help Edit: The sentence is: "Two ordinary joes were doing their own lonely late night thing" No, none of them was called Joe and one of them was a woman. I found it means "a male, a guy, a fellow" but I'd liked some examples for context of when to use it

Take vs Bring
I feel like I‘m going insane reading the explanations for when to use take vs bring. There’s this sentence I‘ve been stewing over and to me, both bring or take would be correct here: *We rarely bring/take our phones to work (with us).* Can anyone explain to me why only take is correct here? I understand that taking usually implies a movement towards sth (from here to there), whereas bringing means its close to someone. However, both are true in the sentence above. Thanks for your help!
