No.Only Americans refer to it as the first floor.
In every other English speaking country it is the ground floor and the first floor is up a flight of stairs.

If we were talking Hollandthen there might have been a point. But we're not, we were talking about France for curious "English-speaking country" reasons. And I agree it's not exactly true.

OK if we're veering out of English-speaking countriesGermany. More people than France. First floor is the first floor, not the ground floor.

I am disturbed that me and my brother were talking about thisThe moment before this thread appeared. I can't remember why, I think we were watching the X-Files and somebody jumped out of a second storey window.

THIS WAS MY POINT.I thought they meant 2nd floor, which would break someones arms and legs if they landed on all fours (which was implied)
Then my brother explained the foolish american mindset and how they get incredibly irritated by the way we describe floors.
