It seems that in British English, an enquiry is the process of asking something while an inquiry refers to a formal investigation of something (think *i*nquisition).

There's more but I can't remember off the top of my head.. a previous developer on our team couldn't spell for shit and now I'm responsible for maintaining this clusterfuck. -
Snob20926yOne of the most used methods in the project I'm currently at is spelled "exceute...." instead of "execute..." . Nobody has ever dared to fix this

*Programers can't spell*
In a previous job, I once spelled inquiries as enquiries. It was a service and it was used in many places throughout the app. Somehow, it made it through peer review and even my teammates started using the misspelled word.
I didn't realize my mistake till months later and by that time I thought it was too much work to fix it (or I was too lazy).
I'm pretty sure we even misspelled it for the on-screen texts.
Moral of the Story: know how to spell shit
