Even if you consider the first floor the ground floor, is the ground floor not the first floor that you walk upon?

nope


(X) does (Y) vs. most of (X) does (Y)

These are two completely different ideas with the former being bigoted when used in the context that you presented it in regarding Americans.

Pointing out this differentiation isn't trolling.

then explain why iclockwork isnt banned when he marks all my posts?

Because I don't abuse the system.

Ive been to every hospital in the Chicagoland area and ive seen it both ways. So I think it just depends on the building/layout.

It's a Britain vs America thing.

With that being said, America objectively have this one right, Britain's idea here is utterly stupid.

Nah, if you have a basement it becomes clear that 0 should come between -1 and 1.

I think it's weird to have a ten story building, being on the top floor and saying "yeah I'm on the 9th floor"

10 story would mean the elevator has 11 buttons. ground floor, and floors 1-10

what you have described is an elevator with 10 buttons

No. Stop being wrong. A 1 story building would have no stairs/elevators because there'd be nothing to go to and then with every additional floor, you add a story.

The alternative is to believe 1 - 1 = -1

This is like 0 indexing versus 1 indexing in programming.

Ground floor is 0 indexing, 1st floor is 1 indexing.
Both are valid, it just depends on where you work

bad analogy
because in one example you'd go from -1 to 1, with no zero floor

America doesnt like to set a floor equal to zero. Positive or negative, all our floors have value.

Second floor. Pretty sure it's a British/American English difference. Americans consider the ground floor to be the first one, Brits consider the....first not-ground floor to be the first one.

Oh wow, I did not know this. It actually explains a couple things with how Hitman levels are labeled.

Why are so many people singling out the British for this? It's hardly isolated to them, and it most likely doesn't originate there either.

Which is wrong mathematically. Both the idea of jumping from -1 to 1 and the idea of zero not being a value.
