Why do we have stairs on the inside but steps on the outside?

Well I'll go to the foot of my stairs.

Not the foot of my steps as it looks like it could rain

Useless bit of info Step would refer to the individual foot board riser whilst Stair is old English for a flight

1) The soap just picked up dirt from the floor so it wasn't a cleaning agent at the time when it fell.
2) The word "stairs" is, as said, from the Old English word stǣger of Germanic origin meaning "to climb" but steps are what more what you do outside rather than the small ones you take when using a staircase.
3) Between black and white there are myriad shades of grey which perhaps we won't go into at this time!

With 8 bit grayscale there's 254 shades of grey between black and white. Don't know why anyone would limit it to 50.

I was having a shave this morning and as I looked into the mirror I saw my dad looking back at me. But ageing aside I wondered -

What colour are mirrors? Are they silver, clear, or the colours around reflected back at me?
