Keep calm, remain calm, stay calm

Hi everybody,

Which one is the proper? keep calm, remain calm, stay calm?

Does the second one exist? I would vote for the first and second ones (based on sources of online dictionaries). Macmillan dictionary also includes 'stay calm' therefore I suppose that it exists, too.

Macmillan mention it this way: "stay/keep/remain calm" -> therefore I think, there isn't any difference in the meanings. Is it true?

Thanks for your answer in advance

Hi I would say that all three are OK and they mean the same - I can't think of a difference between them As you may know, reprints of the following are popular at the moment in the UK! Dave UK Govt, 1939, public domain
