Please don't. It's bad enough that the US and UK can't agree on floor numbering. :) USA 1st, 2nd, 3rd UK Ground, 1st, 2nd Is the basement in the US 0?

  No, like the creator of the Anno Domini system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zero https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zero, American elevator labelers do not believe in “unnatural” numbers < 1. Below the “first floor” they jump straight to B1.

    Some US buildings also skip the 13th floor. Does the UK share this superstition?

      Occasionally, in buildings designed for American businesses, like some of the large bank buildings.

    In the US or UK system? And, in any case, then what is 0?
