enquiry | inquiry

somehow this post is only a quick note or a little reminder for me
well, just because i used to mix up the difference between both of them all the time
geleng kepala~


+ Enquiry means asking a question
+ Inquiry is a formal investigation
+ The prefix ‘en’ comes from French, and ‘in’ from Latin
+ Enquiry is a request for truth, knowledge or information  
+ Inquiry is an investigation into something
+ Enquiry is preferred in British English
+ the Americans are more comfortable with  Inquiry
+ In spite of their being a clear distinction in the meanings of the two terms, people often use them interchangeably
