British use 0 indexing? Never thought about it like that huh

But you would call the item at index zero the "first" element, not the "zeroth" element.

I personally call it zeroth index to about confusion, so G floor or even 0 on elevators is akin to that. But yeah, nobody would say it's the first of all the floors in the building, but not the first floor.
