They re right tho

For once I agree with the pirates

>The concept of the number "0" doesn't exist in clap culture

0 is the ground itself, not an entire floor.

Brits got it right in a logical sense but that still suck because the word floor is inappropriate, if you had a distinct word that separate the floor (ground) from the elevator/stairs ones that would work perfectly.
Americans got it right in pure literal sense.

TL;DR english language sucks ass.

Yes, the floor on the ground, you are learnding Ralph.

Rightisright

So your bottom floor has no vertical height whatsoever? Do you also say that a race winner came in 0th place?

Do you call the second in command number one?

Literally what?

No but you probably call the leader the 0th in command

>anglos

except that
"zero floors" would mean you don't have a building, it's just a patch of dirt.

what do americans do about underground levels?
when you get in the lift to leave do you have to remember ground level is actually the 4th floor due to 4 underground levels?
Why dont americans ever design these things logically?

Now is not the time to argue with you, that comes later.

No, we have B1, B2, B3, etc.

That's why it is the ground floor, you're just spewing out crap to try and justify your bastardisation of my language.

They're listed as B1, B2, B3, etc

You do realise that most modern Aussie buildings follow the American layout....

Sample building
3F
2F
1F/Ground Floor
B1F
B2F

>0
>the lack of

>the zeroeth floor, or the floor that doesn't exist
?

I have four cats in a room.
The first cat, the second, the third, and the fourth.
Apparently, in bongland and cheesetopolis, I have the zeroth, first, second, and third cats.

We use the Brit system.

>bastardisation of my language.
>implying English hasn't always been a bastardized language

America is on fire with the '...will defend this' posts.

Except that's wrong and I suspect you are just shitposting.

Not even Americans are this stupid.

I conccur with the yanks

no we don't fuckface

Ground floor, originally made of the ground, packed earth. First floor, the first created floor of the building, made of wood sitting above the ground floor.

Yes, therefore you should call your bastardisation something else.

You either have a ground floor or a 1st floor, not both.

I'd say the same to you.
How is the ground floor "floor zero"?
Only the WTC has a ground (floor) zero.
It's the first floor on a building.
How is the ceiling of the lowest room the first floor?

American english is literally the best thing to have happened to the language since the loss of declensions and cases. They made it more logical and better sounding.

We use the brit layout but we got a different word for ground floor and other floors

Says the person who counts to sixty ten

The ground floor is usually different (reception area, mail, services, etc) from the upstairs floors that are usually all the same, ergo first out of many identical, same reason it's called a penthouse, not nth floor.

English is your bastard child ya Frenchie, it's high time you took responsibility and acknowledged that. Too bad your husband Angelo-Saxon is dead. You guys got along great besides all that whole 100 years war drama or whatever. Stupid couples squabble that was.

No. English is more Germanic than anything.

Explained it perfectly
Anything you say after his post is just shitposting.

>people that anthropomorphize countries and history.

Kill yourself faggot.

> (You)

Wait, so you're saying that equating 0 and the ground floor makes no sense?

But when a baby is born, they are in their 1st year of life, not 0th.

>I say it's over, so it's over.
It's not over till the fat woman sings, and all American posters ITT are men.
Considering that the "Floor" of a building doesn't have to be constructed materials and can be packed ground, it should be "ground floor", "second floor", "third", et. c. by his logic.

>American buildings don't have a 13th floor

fucking lmao

I'm a girl.

Who gives a fuck?
Although..
Question mark or question point?
Exclamation mark or exclamation point?
Sucked in now like a faggot.

> all American posters ITT are men.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

G, 2, 3, 4, etc is a common numbering scheme. So is 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

Mostly older buildings.

Question mark and exclamation point. Also, it's period (not full stop).

Says the person that use a month/day/year system

>Question mark or question point?
Question mark. Never "question point"

>Exclamation mark or exclamation point?
I use exclamation mark, but I think point is also used sometimes.

>Also, it's period (not full stop).
Women have periods, sentences have full stops.

So why not both points? Is it to taunt us? It is, isn't it.

What ?

13th floor is too spoOoOoOoky for them.

No, ships have full stops.

It's the first floor so it's called the first floor. The ground floor is the dirt, it doesn't need a name. maybe brits name their patches of dirt but we don't. If I have four floors then I will name them consecutively. Naming the first floor the 0th dirt floor doesn't make sense because it's not a zero, it's a 1. You can't have a 0 amount of something.

Thanks.
I was hoping someone would appreciate my self-deprecating humor

>No, ships have full stops.
No they don't...

>Also, it's period
I thought a period was the descriptive/descripting term for those little gasps your people of colou color make when debating privilege.

>tfw we use the same principle as the Brits

Confuses me greatly sometimes.

I have literally never heard it in that context.

criminally underappreciated post

Well Enterprise did.

>he thinks negroids stumbling over their own words and gasping and guffawing while they try to argue about niggerbabble isn't a beautiful art form
RACIS

Well, obviously I'm taking the piss but you don't know about those debating techniques? It's crazy to watch.

>ground floor
>floor made of ground
brits are cavemen

Video? I seriously have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Nobody cares about Star Trek here.

Full stop is like bringing your car down to 0 mph at a stop sign instead of doing a rolling stop.

Ah ah ah

>Full stop is like bringing your car down to 0 mph at a stop sign instead of doing a rolling stop.
No, a "rolling stop" is a crime. And crime is for...?

I don't know who calls those gasps a period.

They both make sense depending on how you look at it. I'm personally more inclined on calling the ground-level room the first floor because it's more convenient to start counting from the very bottom up when transversing a building, but whatever.

Not what in the name of fuck is happening there, Yank bros?

No, a rolling stop is an infraction. There's a difference.

My sides... She could challenge Eminem to a rap god challenge tho.

white leftists creating little black monsters.

>this is considered debating in America
Concern.

>yanks will defend this

Black people are like Pokémon

Nig nig nig NIIGGAA nig nig NIGGA nig..nig nig....NNNNIIIIGHUUUURGHHHH NIGGGURRRRRRRRRGH...nig nig.. nigger

"I counted the floors to this building from the street."

"There's one missing..."

What did he mean by this?

Yanks have their own English. Good luck to them.

Well, there's also more of us.

I was just having a spot of fun, Pablo. Does fun anger you? Are you unhappy that others are enjoying themselves while you, are not? At what age did your mother stop loving you? These are all important questions.

I hear some of you have no accents too.
That's some faceless god shit.

i'll defend the two non-meme ones

>ZIP CODE
ZIP codes are a system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) since 1963. The term ZIP, an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan,[1] was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly (zipping along), when senders use the code in the postal address.

so it's just our name for it 2bh

>FALL
The alternative word fall for the season traces its origins to old Germanic languages. The exact derivation is unclear, with the Old English fiæll or feallan and the Old Norse fall all being possible candidates. However, these words all have the meaning "to fall from a height" and are clearly derived either from a common root or from each other. The term came to denote the season in 16th century England, a contraction of Middle English expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year".[16]

During the 17th century, English emigration to the British colonies in North America was at its peak, and the new settlers took the English language with them. While the term fall gradually became obsolete in Britain, it became the more common term in North America

so "Autumn" is just brits tryin to be fancy and pretend that they're roman instead of germanic. in america we kept it real and didn't want to pretend we're something we're not 2bh

Quality > quantity :^)

Well done my son

L-lad..Thought you'd forsaken you old dad completely.

Americans can't be this retarded right? Pls god let this be a shitpost!

>talks about retardation
>Speaks retarded German
Yeah, nah.

Unless you're Frisian.
Then you just speak retarded English.

>too retarded for free healthcare

Nah

4.5/10 might troll someone

Let's talk about measurements, int!
Why is imperial so much better than Metric?
The conversions are just so sensible:
>12 inches in a foot
>3 feet in a yard
>5.5 yards in a rod
>4 rods in a chain
>10 chains in a furlong
>8 furlongs in a mile
>~3.45234 miles in a league
"It just works"

Our language began looking like english since 80 years ago. english was and still is one of the easiest languages. so we applied their grammar to our language. And now we have this. And if you're from the east you speak german/dutch. This is something compared to Frisian. Frisian is the language we spoke 120 years ago. I'j bunt mien ne mo'gool, this is what I speak. Now go and speak british AKA english.
