moguwai007 Is it possible to say 1F, 2F, 3F for 1st floor, 2nd floor,3rd floor? Let's put it this way. If you said "4F" I would immediately think of an army classification that means 'unfit for service'.

In elevators only the number is used on the buttons for floors. Other than that I am not aware of any other kind of abbreviation for "floor".

We don't normally feel a pressing need to shorten single-syllable words.
