This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me. (lemmy.world)

Are you in the US, and what kind of building is it?

I don't ever remember seeing a separate ground and 1st floor in a building, although I haven't been in every building.

I've seen it once, the building was built on a hill, so both ground and 1st had street level entrances on opposite sides.

You just triggered a flashback about a weird parking garage that had Ground between P1 and P2 so that it would line up with the hotel's Ground floor!

It went:

P3
P2
Ground
P1

Now that you mention the slopes, I do have a fuzzy recollection of a building on a slope having a separate Ground floor from the numbered floors for street level access. 1st floor was the main lobby.

I can't think of one on flat ground ever having separate Ground and 1st floors though.
