Why are the floors labeled backwards from the reality, with the lowest floor at the top? Is this common in the U.S.?[[Special:Contributions/141.101.81.220|141.101.81.220]] 13:21, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

:No, most, if not all, buildings in the US have the highest floor on top and the lowest floor on bottom, with everything else in descending order as you look from top to bottom. [[User:Mulan15262|Mulan15262]] ([[User talk:Mulan15262|talk]]) 03:33, 10 June 2014 (UTC)Mulan15262

:Floors appear with the highest on top and the lowest on the bottom.  However, the number one is assigned to the ground floor or the floor above it.  Normally, basements are not assigned a number, and are simply marked with the letter "B".  However, in buildings with more than one floor below ground, they may be numbered.  In other words, the numbering might not be backwards, if 1 is 1 floor below ground, 2 is 2 floors below ground, etc.  In the television show Stargate SG-1, there are elevators that stop at "sub-levels" (floors below ground) inside Cheyenne Mountain.  In real life, elevators that go multiple floors below ground are found in underground parking garages, subway stations, etc.
