Is the word "story" not interchangeable with "floor" in this case?
Hello,
I read a sentence in a piece of news.
"Most of the elevators automatically halted at the nearest floor and opened their doors, but 14 were stranded between stories."
I wonder if I can also say this:
Most of the elevators automatically halted at the nearest story and opened their doors, but 14 were stranded between floors.
I have such doubt because I somehow feel "between floors" sounds not grammatically appropriate.
Do I think too much?
