Q: why is it called a flight of stairs? shouldnt it be called a walk or run of stairs? My thought on the subject is that when stairs were invented (which was awhile ago) people had the ability of flying but then government became a thing and they didnt like the flying because as we all know people in the government cant fly and in a fit of jealously they stopped everyone from flying but left the name for the stairs leaving it as a flight of stairs. what are your thoughts on the matter?
A: i think in the 1200s, going up stairs was the closest thing to flying we could really do
