linda, 'storeyed' does exist and its correct. its a general mistake we all make, but as an english major like u say u are if am not mistaken, dat should distinguish us. u should know better. maybe u should check ur archives. we are all not perfect though, we learn everyday. thanx 4 ur appreciation.
It is "storey" not "storeyed"... Parking garages for example can also be called "multi-storey car parks".
Incidentally, 'storeyed' is an indian english variant of the word ;) Last I checked, Ms. Ikeji is Nigerian not Indian ;)
lol @ Nigeria Film... Yes, I call Abia a village. It might be a state on paper, Umuahia may be considered a city, but development is still far removed from that area...
I think both "a ten-storeyed building" and "a ten-storey building" are valid.
"ten-storeyed building" refers to, "quality" meaning, "a building that has 10 stories" in the same way that "three-legged stool" means "a stool that has three legs"
"ten-storey building" refers to "number" wherein the number of storeys is indicated.

Silk, if you call yourself an English major then you should do your research very well. "Two-Storey" building is very correct. Do your research, that's why we have internet and dictionary!!! Always make sure you know what you are saying before trying to correct people.
@ SILK check your facts before you try and correct others...You are a typical log in your eyes kinda dude but yet checking out the speck in others..... ..yes Linda is an English graduate but so does that mean there is no room for error?....and in this case there isnt one.... I get it...but I am only angry at your approach of 'correction' (which apparently isnt VALID) ...NO HARD FEELINGS!
Both 'two-storey' and 'two-storeyed' are standard British English expressions. The first is a noun and the other is an adjective. American English favours the story/storied spelling forms. Either way, adding building to it is still valid! If in doubt, consult a dictionary!
