Hi Torsten,

There is no difference between enquiry and inquriy, isn't is? Only inquiry is more often used in American English.

Hi Minh,

Yes I agree with you. By the way, the question tags can be tricky. Your question should read: There is no difference between enquiry and inquiry, is there? I hope it's OK for you if I point our these things. I'm a learner of English myself and I'm always glad when a native speaker corrects me.

Please let me know what you think.
Many thanks,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

It is OK with me. I am very glad that you pointed out my English grammar mistake in that sentence. Yes, I should have written it as "is there?" instead of " isn't it?" Your knowledge of English is much stronger than mine. I am very open-minded, so if you have any issue to be discussed, please feel free to contact me. I always want to know English well because I am not a native speaker.

Thank you, Torsten, very much again and again.

Sincerely,

Minh
