Use fluid CSS units

[ASH-Anthony]

use rem or % preferably

em, vw, vh secondary

px last resort.

any others?

ch should belong as a secondary unit i think

@ASH-Anthony will research and bring this discussion to the next meeting.

Some findings:

ch is similar to em in that it cascades. It's based on the width of a 0 character and changes as the font-family changes (unlike em). However, IE11 behaves a little differently than other browsers

I don't think we would find ourselves using it often, if ever so I think there's more downside (having to learn the difference between another unit) than upside. That being said, I'll revise my rankings from the initial issues:

rem or % preferably
vw, vh (heros only since they can't be resized?)
em, ch (cascade effect and we rarely need this precise of a measurement vs rem)
px last resort

Thanks for researching this for us @ASH-Anthony!
