Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A building has floors or storey if we would like to indicate the levels of a building.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would recommend to rename at all relevant places "story" to "storey" or "floor".

Describe alternatives you've considered

My bad.... sorry then. I was not aware of that... still, story looks odd anyway. :/

Meh, the main argument should be avoiding dis-ambiguity not nit-picking on the ongoin spelling wars between Brits and GIs, I presume.

IMHO the existing spelling is very confusing and quite misleading. To me it looked like an extra info box for buildings first and then wondered if this would mean a "store" like storing room or shop store, I freely admit.

Please provide as "floor" or "storey" for clarity at your earliest convenience.
