Right. So your running a race and you're in first place, right behind the leader.
No because the leader is by definition the person in first place.
The floor is not by definition the ground.
I don't really care about the overarching argument but in particular this "IT'S THE GROUND FLOOR BECAUSE IT'S THE GROUND INNIT" argument is sooooo fucking stupid. No, it actually isn't the ground. It's roughly ground level, sure, but it's floor. That was built. It isn't the ground.
Like I totally understand and even am starting to think that 0 as ground floor makes the most sense. But this particular argument just makes you look like a moron.
it's floor. That was built. It isn't the ground
Yeah I know. That's why it's called the ground floor. Where ground is an adjective. Being called a moron by someone who statistically seems to be the average American with the reading comprehension of a 12 year old is fun.
"Because the other one is the ground"
Yeah, man, my reading comprehension is bad. You used the word ground as an adjective and didn't literally say that it was THE ground. Sure man. Nice random article, it really proved your point.
