I just checked wikipedia to confirm this before even beginning to argue:

"A storey (British English, Canadian English) or story (American English) is any level part of a building that could be used by people (for living, work, storage, recreation, etc.). The plurals are storeys and stories, respectively."

When I undid your edit, I specifically said that your edit seemed like a simple British vs American dispute, but you denied this by giving a vague comment that "it was the context, reading it, it doesn't work". As I did not want to start an edit war, I came here to ask what exactly you had in mind by this. What you had in mind was, apparently, just a change from singular to plural, but you still ended up changing British to American in the process, so my original comment still stands. Simple conclusion: be more specific with your edit comments and we won't have these pointless discussions in the future.

I personally don't care about the British vs American thing, because I'm neither British neither American, but I do hate when either party thinks that their version is better. So, as the wiki hasn't chosen whether to use British or American for all articles, either version is fine and I go by the simple "first come, first serve" rule when deciding which version to use. As I personally have to use British, since I'm European, I use the British version on the wiki so that I wouldn't develop bad habits of using American expressions when I'm supposed to use British.

So, can we agree to avoid such pointless edits in the future?
