“utilize significant verticality” time to operationalize that jargon lmao xD
It’s flat, vertically.
This is the same people who add a silent u to words like color, or has a stroke while spelling the word ‘check’. They say things like bonnet, boot, lorry, lift, innit. I mean, imagine getting into a ‘lift’ just to descend. There is no saving them now.
I realised i don’t know what the term is that corresponds to apartment building, but flat is just apartment right (ESL)? They’re usually just one floor in my experience, as opposed to regular houses which are usually two. Makes a lot of sense to me
flat(n.)
1801, “a story of a house,” from Scottish flat “floor or story of a house,” from Old English flett “a dwelling, hall; floor, ground,” from Proto-Germanic *flatja-, from suffixed form of PIE root *plat- “to spread.”
The meaning “floor or part of a floor set up as an apartment” is from 1824. Directly from flat (adj.) come the senses “level ground near water” (late 13c.; late 12c. in place-names); “a flat surface, the flat part of anything” (a sword, etc., late 14c.), and “low shoe” (1834).
ranch house
is just a sprawling set of rooms and does not come with livestock in a big field
Does it come with a creamy, tangy, garlicky sauce that’s somehow less satisfying than pure buttermilk?
A fellow buttermilk enjoyer? You are hard to come by
But I absolutely love a good ranch (made with a packet at home, not a premade bottle)
Apartments are famously built on only a single floor.
