] By the way, although in "real life" most things are (unfortunately)
] numbered from 1, building stories are numbered from 0. But somehow floor
] zero is given a special name (ground floor or something like that).
This is a common habit in The Netherlands. Though, as far as I know, there
are many countries where the counting starts at 1. So, the entrance is at the
firts floor one and the floor above is called the second floor.
Starting to count at one is more natural for most people. The concept of zero
and negative numbers is something which is much more difficult to grasp.
