You are absolutely correct, Midnight, about the two examples of inquiries coming up short. And the beef you and Hauling share about poor grammar throughout the site is one that I have also shared for a long time. We have some new folks responsible for such content these days and I'm confident things will start to get better in that area.
I will submit a correction for the inquiry alert explanation to include other inquiry situations that can affect your score, and will recommend something better than the "pay my $327 revolving debt down over 24 months" kind of language in the simulator and elsewhere.
Thanks for helping keep us honest!
