Floors
Well, I had a post about ceilings so it seems appropriate to mention floors today. And I'm with the Americans on this one. It makes sense that we should count the ground floor as number one, and that each succeeding floor upwards be numbered accordingly. Why the Brits thought it best to name the first floor the ground floor I'll never know, but it does lead to occasional confusion when speaking of multi-level buildings.
Mind you, if naming a floor, while all the others are numbered, is wrong, perhaps we should count the basement as floor one. Or we could fudge the issue by giving it the number minus one.
