Whats the difference between inquiries and enquiries?

The difference between "inquiries" and "enquiries" lies in their spelling and usage, which is often dictated by regional preferences:

* Inquiries is the American English spelling.

* Enquiries is the British English spelling.

Both words mean the same thing: a request for information. They can be used interchangeably, but you should choose the spelling that aligns with the intended audience or style guide.

For example:

* American English: "I made some inquiries about the new product."

* British English: "He sent enquiries about the job opening."

Essentially, it comes down to whether you're writing for an American or British audience.
