The ground floor in lifts isn't "1", it is "G". Same thing.

Country dependent. Like there are 1-based indexing languages (Lua, Matlab, et al)

And others like Pascal linage (Pascal, Object Pascal, Extended Pascal, Modula-2, Ada, Oberon,...), that have flexible bounds, they can be whatever numeric subranges we feel like using, or enumeration values.

Actually some lifts don't start with G but -2, because basement exists.
