There are no Zildian rules that I can remember about in- vs en-. As I said earlier, that wasn't true of immigration and emigration at one point. I'm a nitpicker when it comes to marking essays (and thank some power not here that I don't have to do that any more) but I would never have picked on in- being used instead of -en, or vice versa. Or imm- vs -em for that matter.

And I see "inquire" used here quite a lot, so maybe it's a regional thang. You live in Essex, doncha? manfully resisting the urge to make cracks about Essex men and Essex girls ...
