>calling the second floor the first floor
lol holy shit how will they ever recover

In Spanish we go for the British way.

Planta Baja

Primer Piso

Segundo Piso

Tercer Piso

The Brits are correct

>calling the ground the first floor

>Planta Baja
Entresuelo *

>the american way
>the rest of the world way
Why is this so common?

No america, you're wrong again

I agree with americans here. When you start to count something do you start at zero or you start at one? And what if the building is on a hillside with several "ground" floors?

burgers are right for once

urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Special Snowflake Syndrome

Norwayman gets it! Calling it the 'ground floor' makes no sense. When I walk into a building, I am standing on the first floor. Go upstairs, that's the second floor. How difficult is that?

>tfw you use ground floor, second floor, third floor, etc

Let's be fair, this is a minor infringement in logic compared to the American education system. Wtf is a sophomore year? Wtf do you have all these bullshit titles?

Even that makes more sense than calling the 2nd floor the 1st floor

This is completely fine. Ground Floor OR First Floor are acceptable, but not both together.

>yanks are afraid of having a 13th floor so they call it the 14th

can't make this shit up

The better question is does it really matter?

Freshman mean novie or newcomer. Sophomore means second effort or version.

it might because if international construction firms use different names for levels, the whole building could get fucked during construction

I thought that was the norm.

G, M, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, ...

same

We do like brits but the American way makes more sense imo

based

It’s the same here mate.
Just accept it

Plebs all of you

>(ק stands for ground)

We also use the British way

same in Romania

>Yanks genuinely think they don't call things ground zero.

And where I live, many building have the highest floor called "ático" instead of numbered. (Attic)

what the fuck

That makes no sense. The 0th floor.

Okay, so now imagine you're on the ground floor
You walk into the elevator
And there are those numbers you push to move up or down
There are two floors under the ground and some above it
So does it make more sense if they are numbered -2, -1, 0 (you're here), 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
Or -1, 0, 1 (you're here), 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
Or maybe even -2, -1, 1 (you're here), 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

>tfw my university calls the basement floor first floor, ground floor second floor, etc

Dweeb speaks the truth.

>The 0th floor.
It's the floor that's on the ground. Ground floor.

>when brainlets discuss zero-based numbering

quebec:
rez de chaussée (RC)
deuxième étage (2)
troisième étage (3) etc.

Abomination.

Basement is floor -1, so a floor with two below ground levels would look like this:

-2 -> -1 -> 0 -> 1 -> 2 ...

It makes sense if you're not a yank brainlet.

based computer science enlightened britain

think of it like this

That's actually the french way and most do this.

>3. Stock/Stockwerk/Etage (storey)
>2. Stock/Stockwerk/Etage (storey)
>1. Stock/Stockwerk/Etage (storey)
>E (Erdgeschoss - ground floor)
>1. Kellergeschoss (basement floor)
>2. Kellergeschoss (basement floor)
>3. Kellergeschoss (basement floor)

>calling the ground floor the first level
>murrican logic

>americans do not have the brain capacity to understand the concept of 0

Not surprised.

How do you say ground floor in your language ?
French : Rez-de-chaussée (litterally means "at the road's level")

How often do you need to build on the side of a fucking hill?

We use E

haha mate. Read it again. The Ground floor is the same as the first floor,
makes sense

It's the second storey but the first floor
youtube.com/watch?v=MJAitfGFc8M

Bongs are correct.

not really, but it should be called 0 floor for consistency.

Parter
It's kinda retarded
BTW, Russkies call GF "pierwyi etazh", I guess it's borrowed from French

americans are right btw

How can you have a ground floor if you have a basement

P for Parter (from french par terre - on the ground)

>burgers unironically think they arent wrong as usual

It's actually:
Ground floor
Mezzanine
Second floor
Third floor etc.

Plebs.

Because the basement is underground

haha get out of my country

>When you start to count something do you start at zero or you start at one?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

Planta baja it's something different from entre suelo. Planta baja = rez-de-chaussée = ground floor. Entre suelo = entre-sol = mezzanine.

And attic =/= last floor except when it's a real attic, why do you call it like that ?

This

Same here (brit/world wide way).

We either call it zero or ground.

Well, you actually didn't change floor so why start to count? thats dumb.
If you at the street level then it is not the first floor, the first floor is the floor right above the street level.

Not here. “Planta baja” would be the first floor here

Callate uruguasho

The only sane person ITT, it seems. "Ground floor" infestation needs to perish.

>thats dumb.
No, calling a building with 11 floors a 10 storey building is dumb.

Underrated

I kinda have to disagree, sorry

¡Primer piso!

Dizque planta baja.

This fag has obviously never used arrays before

The British way is far superior because it accounts for basement levels as well.

...

Street level is first level.

disgusting

You enter a building at street (ground) level. The floor you're in is the ground floor. You didn't go up or down any amount of floors (0).
You go up one (1) floor. That's floor 1 aka 1st floor. And so on.
Same for basement levels but with a minus sign.

In Sweden both systems, with some varieties of them, are used in a very confusing way...

...

wow americans being wrong, who would have guessed

>5
>4
>3
>2
>1
>-1
>-2
american way is retarded

I actually wont. This time you are correct, congratulation america

>third floor
>second floor
>ground floor

>filename
Only proves how much of a simpleton americans are. They only understand pin-pointed absolutes.
This is obviously not ground floor since it's above the ground.
This building doesn't have "ground floor"

best of both

We say it like the Brits too.

it's not the british way it's the literally everyone except yanks way

Try to learn some programming. You'll be surprised.

Not really. I do believe it is called "European system" since it's consistent across Europe plus few countries formerly owned by European nations like in South America.

In Russia they use the same system as American though, so it's pervom etazhe, vtorom etazhe, etc.

They are right though

yeah surprised at how many different conventions people can come up with to do the same shit desu

In my native cunt I think it's B2, B1, L, 2, 3, ... so it's not just Clapistan that does that.
At the end of the day, is correct though.

"Durrr they are right though"

No. You were just born into this dumb fucking system. Americans are 100% right on this

brits are so fucking cucked by the french
they shouldn't even consider themselves anglo
