/* rem */
Translation of rem units to pixel value is determined by the font size
of the html element. This font size is influenced by inheritance from
the browser font size setting unless explicitly overridden with a unit
not subject to inheritance (px or vw).
/* em */
Translation of em units to pixel values is determined by the font size
of the element they’re used on. This font size is influenced by
inheritance from parent elements unless explicitly overridden with
a unit not subject to inheritance. ---> change the menu’s font size the
