	New2grammar  #535224  Tue, 01 Jul 08 05:06 PM Is 'stand firm on your decision' equal to 'stand on your ground'? Thanks    New2grammar Joined on Tue, Nov 21 2006 Veteran Member (7,670) Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

	optilang  #535233  Tue, 01 Jul 08 05:09 PM Not exactly 'stand firm on your decision' = you will not change your decision. 'stand on your ground' = you will not move your position/viewpoint.    optilang Joined on Tue, May 13 2008 Poland Senior Member (2,171) OptiNative British English Speaker Wherever I may roam, I'm still a Londoner.

	optilang  #535263  Tue, 01 Jul 08 05:56 PM New2grammar Thanks, Nona.   Optilang, is on optional to you? I must admit that I didn't spot it at first. "Stand your ground" is what I would say, although I have seen 'stand on your ground'. I would always use the former as Nona said.    optilang
