A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

You're not wrong. From a US citizen who is tired of the old ways that don't work anymore
The funny part is that US customary units are defined from SI units.
You use US customary, though, not Imperial.
I was in Canada and ordered a 20oz beer. The waitress said "ok the pint" and I said "uhh...the 20 oz one" and she said "yeah...ok."
Didn't realize that we had smaller pints (16 oz) than they do everywhere else.
The issue with the imperial unities is that every single place has their own derivation of them. You are lucky if they are consistent within an entire city.
The US had a lot of trouble getting them consistent through the entire country. Most of the world stopped using them instead.
