    You learn the correct pronunciation and ask what the difference is?

    Taken from Wikipedia ā€“ "A meme (/ĖˆmiĖm/ meem)1 is ā€œan idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.ā€2 A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.3

    The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek Ī¼ĪÆĪ¼Ī·Ī¼Ī± Greek pronunciation: [mĆ­ĖmɛĖma] mÄ«mēma, ā€œimitated thingā€, from Ī¼Ī¹Ī¼Īµįæ–ĻƒĪøĪ±Ī¹ mimeisthai, ā€œto imitateā€, from Ī¼įæ–Ī¼ĪæĻ‚ mimos ā€œmimeā€)4 and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)15 as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.6"

    Remember that Wikipedia can be ā€˜updatedā€™ by anyone, so itā€™s content isnā€™t necessarily correct.
