>The English-speaking parts of Canada generally follow the American convention, where the "first" floor is the floor at the ground level and the floor above it is the "second" floor. Canada however uses the spelling "storey", not "story". In Quebec, the European scheme was formerly used (as in France), but by now it has been mostly replaced by the US system, so that rez-de-chaussée and premier étage ("first stage") are now generally equivalent in Quebec. Mexico, on the other hand, uses the European system.
>This system is also used in some (but not all) Latin American countries.
>Most parts of eastern Asia, including China (excluding Hong Kong), Korea, Japan, and Singapore, follow this system.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the world does, it matters what makes sense. Calling the second floor the first floor does NOT make sense.

So yeah, you share a system with a bunch of third-world shitholes, again.
Nice one.
