Inquiries vs. queries (inquiry vs. query)

[Yousefhubail]

Hi Guys,

What is the difference between inquiries and quiries?

Thank you very much in advance.

I have the same question?

[Barb_D]

Queries, not quiries.

I usually associate a "query" with computer data. We'll run a query to find out which customers have purchased that item in the last six months.

[Yousefhubail]

Still not clear,

My colleagues at the work used to send questions to the clients. They usually mentioned ''please find below my inquiries'' and sometimes ''please find below my queries'',

It's a bit confusing!

Hi,

An inquiry (or enquiry) has a more official air to it, whereas 'query' is more like a question that is put forward when in doubt of a certain issue.
