why the hell did someone change STOREY, the correct form of the word, to STORY?! this is an english wikia, please if you don't know much about english go to Google and translate the word! unless STORY is used in some places, if so sorry, but I've only heard and read STOREY, already changed it Ptsimpson 08:40, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
