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

Same thing in Spain

Except in Spain they use "PB", which makes even less sense unless you know it's planta baja. It'd be better if there were a zero. At least the English use "0" or "G".

G doesn't make sense either unless you know it means "ground". It goes both ways

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, even in the US 'G' can mean 'Garage' in some buildings, which may be the ground floor or the first sub-floor.

Then you can have 'L' for Lobby, but in some cases it means Lower.

Jane? Get me off this crazy thing.
