Thankfully. Could you figure such a joke here?
We're quite shocked and somewhat disturbed by uneducated people still reading horoscope or similar stupidity, but they're not that superstitious otherwise over here.
A ground floor is most often 'rez-de-chaussée', or 'rez-de-rue', that's an unusual but still valid synonym these days.
You'll also occasionally find 'rez-de-jardin' when ground floor is surrounded by a bit of greenery, and entresol when ground floor is slightly raised above actual street level.
In any case, these are never taken into account in floor count here.
A 1er étage (floor 1) would be called a 2nd floor in the US.
