Interesting, in Denmark we count the same as the Brits
I see. Weird that our so similar languages differ like this. But our counting systems are also vastly different, so maybe it isn't so weird anyway?
Sometimes we can have the entrance in a basement which would then be denoted as the basement and not the first floor. I guess the basement example is when what the british names ground floor is partially underground. In all other cases our first floor is where the main entrance is.
