Q14: 'get', 'fetch' and 'bring'

Hello, 

Do these mean the same thing? Kindly tell me what the difference between them is if there is any.

- Get me a glass of water, please. 
- Fetch me a glass of water, please. 
- Bring me a glass of water, please. 

Thank you.

"get" is more of a command, 'bring' is a bit more polite, and 'fetch' is old-fashioned. Otherwise they have basically the same meaning.
