How many floors are under an apartment on the second floor? (No basement)
I still don't know if it goes ground floor, second floor or ground floor, first floor, second floor
You're viewing a single thread.
I think it depends on the convention used in each country, so there isn't one global correct answer.
In Britain the convention is Ground, 1st Floor, 2nd Floor.
TIL. Living in the states I thought the answer is obviously that the ground floor and first floor are synonymous.
Not really. The only time I've personally ever seen a ground floor is at a hospital. Where the entrance on one side is a floor lower than the other side.
Agreed. For the other side of the Atlantic, it is ground or 1st floor, 2nd floor.
Makes sense, I'm in Quebec and that's what feels right to me but I didn't realize it was different elsewhere, it explains my confusion in Internet conversations
Makes sense for numbering floors - ground is zero. How many floors should there be between -1 and 2?
