Root823425y@oreru A floor is the level of a building, so the ground floor being the first floor makes sense to me.

Root823425y@oreru That works very well -- except when trying to say it.
"That's on the negative first floor."
"Take the elevator to floor minus one, then turn left."
It's hard to say and sounds weird. -
theuser48035y@oreru That is also the system used in Norway. Sweden however uses the ground/zeroth floor system. I guess it varies from country to country.
I personally support the ground floor system.
