In British English people sometimes distinguish between enquiry and inquiry, using enquiry for the general meaning of ‘a request for information’ and inquiry for the more particular meaning of ‘official investigation’ enquiries from prospective students • a murder inquiry . However, you can use either spelling in either meaning. In American English inquiry is usually used in both meanings.
