Hello,


Is there any difference in meaning in the following sentences?

-I can't decide whether to eat out or stay at home.


-I can't decide whether to eat out or stay home.


Can they be used interchangeably?

Thanks a million.

It used to be that the English said, "Stay at home" and the Americans said "Stay home".
Anyway, they mean the same thing.
I would say they are both acceptable, although to my way of thinking stay at home is better grammar.
