Ground is not a floor - i think this is related to age if the languages. In Norway we refer to story and avoid confusion altogether. If its on the 2nd story you press two on the elevator, or walk because you’re not made of cheeseburgers or fish’n’crisps.

Is it a space you occupy? Yes, it is. That makes it a floor that exists that you occupy. It does not need to be elevated to be a floor.

Ever drop your food on the floor? Do you need to be elevated to drop your food on the floor?

Back in the days the ground floor was dirt.

floor was dirt

Oh you said floor. That makes it a floor that exists. You start counting at 1, not at 0.

Jeg kunne godt sagt noe annet siden engelsk ikke er mitt morsmål. Men fint du fikk utløp for dine pedantiske sider

Well that's respectful. Not.

Should I reply in Klingon?

Ok...

floor /flôr/ noun

The surface of a room on which one stands.
