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?
There's not usually a 0 (at least in Canada). Ground floor is 1 or G. The floor above that is 2. Basement is B, or if there's multiple basements, B1 then B2, B3, etc.
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.
