        What? Why? On the east coast I’ve mostly seen ground as first floor. Sometimes below ground is counted though.

      What’s crazy is that it’s not consistent by language. Obviously we have British/Aussie/Kiwi vs US/Canadian English, but the Spanish speaking world is also fractured.

      US, Russia, and China on the same side is weird to see.

      Antarctica is mixed… that means there are at least two multifloor buildings there… and they couldn’t agree on it

        Well that one you would kinda expect, as each Antarctic base is built by a different country - and complicated by some of the buildings being on stilts.
