Ground floor is 0.

It is depicted like that in the elevators. First floor above is 1, first floor below is -1.

Doesn't American go from -1 directly to 1? Skipping 0 entirely?

And you don't start counting at 0, so anything being counted as 0 makes no sense. 0 literally means 0, does not exist.

Basements are usually B1, B2, B3, etc.
