I'd like to know the difference between "be" and "stand"
1. I'm ready!
2. I stand ready!
I think both of them convey the same meaning wherever.
Could there be any difference between the two sentences in meaning?
Please help me!
Thanks!^^
they both mean the same thing, but I've never heard any of my friends say "I stand ready" instead of "I'm ready." I stand ready sounds like someone is in the military or about to go on a mission or something.
