Greetings TOM!

 EV>> ... Why are they called stairs inside, but steps outside?

 TW> Answer to your Tag Line

 TW> Steps are simple constructions to climb up and down, usually for
 TW> entering something on a platform and less in number.

 TW> Stairs are usually used to connect different floors in a building
 TW> and are more in number.

Your post in reply to his tagline question does nothing to explain 'why'
stairs and steps are called what they are. Perhaps a breath of fresh air,
taken just a few steps up the flight of stairs to the highest balcony over
looking the huge valley of explanations will give you a clue.


    Have a day!
