[edit] Storey vs. story

There was no typo in the Burj-al-Arab article. "Storey" (for floor) is merely an alternative spelling for "story".

See m-w.com:

Main Entry: story Variant(s): also sto·rey /'stOr-E, 'stor-E/ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural stories also storeys Etymology: Middle English storie, from Medieval Latin historia picture, story of a building, from Latin, history, tale; probably from pictures adorning the windows of medieval buildings 1 a : the space in a building between two adjacent floor levels or between a floor and the roof b : a set of rooms in such a space c : a unit of measure equal to the height of the story of a building <one story high> 2 : a horizontal division of a building's exterior not necessarily corresponding exactly with the stories within

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! Rosemary Amey 01:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
