It's as annoying as people who use abit as a real word.

The Americanism that Brits have to be the panhandlers of either Germany or the US.
They opted for the 51st state and haven't lived it down since.
"Free Speech" huehuehue.
Joking aside, I get triggered when I hear the phrase "For all intensive purposes". Never heard an American irl use "for all intents and purposes" correctly.
You get to a building, you are at its first floor. It is the first floor you visit when entering it at street level.
It is a floor, it is the first, therefore it is the first floor.
I'll agree with the US on this one.
In here they follow the Brit's way, though, and I think it's stupid.
For some reason candy annoys me... I don't mind Americans saying candy but not Brits! Same with Brits that say celphone, dollar, the fedz,
i hate when English people say mum, pub, and bloody.
i also find comedians with a british accent about as unfunny as a woman doing stand up.
i cant watch any tv shows that have that accent. i heard monty python is funny but i cant fucking stand it for 5 minutes

It depends on the type of building. If the only thing on the ground floor is the lobby, that is the lobby, and the next level up from the ground floor would be the first floor. However, if the lobby shares the ground floor with other rooms, the lobby floor could be considered the first floor.
I live in a 3 family house. The first floor (Apartment A) wouldn't be called the lobby, it is the first floor.
All in all, it is situational.

Just so you know we’re not converting to the metric system. Even living in Canada they had to learn the hard way.

Candy specifies a certain kind of sweet. A pastry is a sweet, but it is not candy. For me, as a person who limits the amount of sweets, I say exactly that specify that it doesn't matter if it is candy, pastry, or any sort of sugary food or drink. If offered candy, I would say, sorry I don't really eat sweets.
