Grammar
Do what you're told/ Do as you're told....
These two sentences mean the same, right? Is which sentence you use the matter of personal preference, or is there some difference I should know about?

I'd say that on the whole they convey the same meaning. However, "do what you're told" seems to me to refer to particular tasks, chores, and "do as you're told" to a more general way of completing a task.
