A simple question....

[Don1]

..Or is it?

Just choose a letter in this multiple choice ... no explanation wanted (ok since it will happen anyway Silicon Valley economists are relieved of the single letter restriction and can post a diatribe)

Q - A building has 6 levels- three storeys above ground and 3 subterranean levels ( assume US conventions for the sake of consistency in answers)

Which level is the First floor?

a. The floor at ground level

b. The lowest basement level

c. There is no such thing as a first floor - only storeys are important

d. Whatever floor is convenient to support my prior posted opinions- but I'm afraid to post it because it it will make me look more foolish.

e. none of the above - i'm totally confused

My answer is : a

What's yours?

hmmmmm

Is it on some flight path somewhere?

[Don1]

Architecture and Landscaping: storey

story
Volume between the floors of a building or between its floor and roof. Storeys are defined as basement (wholly or partly underground), ground (in the USA first and in France rez-de-chaussée), first (or piano nobile if containing the principal rooms), second, third, etc., then Attic (over the entablature of the principal façade). The volume within a roof-space is the garret rather than the Attic. Entresols and mezzanines are intermediate floors between the main storeys. Towers have stages rather than storeys, and, like storeys, are often identified by horizontal bands of mouldings, string-courses, cornices, etc. Storey-posts are the main posts in a timber-framed building, rising one storey.

BTW.. good school boy... you are fond of the word "apparently" as you have been using it quite frequently in recent posts.... misspelling it on each and every occasion.

Please note the correct spelling.
