Not on this side of the pond. We typically don't have a ground floor, that's just the first floor.

i wish the people making buildings around here knew that. some start at floor 3, others at 5. some start at 0. others at 2. every building has its own story. you need to understand the building before you can understand your position in it.

if a building is built into a hillside in the uk and has exits on floors 2 and 5, which would be the ground floor?

it’s floor 5 from monday to wednesday, and floor 2 from thursday to sunday

My intuition would be floor 2, as it is the lowest floor to the ground that isn't underground
