After getting the rest done that can be done without the rest of the needed content, I did a little checking.

Apparently enquiry is the English spelling, and inquiry is the American spelling. I know which I prefer, but I suppose I shouldn't give the site a "pretentious" feel. Mark that down as another spelling issue to be clarified...

"Inquiry" is quite common in the news - as in e.g. "The Bristol Babies Inquiry (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/in_depth/health/2001/the_bristol_babies_inquiry/)" or in the context of a Governmental "Official Inquiry" - a formal process to seek the truth or answers to questions that are in the gretaer public interest.

Making enquiries, I guess, would be part of the process of an official "Inquiry" :-)
