      i thought most explanations about u-verbs and ru-verbs were confusing

turns out it’s really about consonant stem (oyog-u, kik-u, kaer-u) vs vowel stem (tabe-ru, ne-ru, i-ru). note vowel stems always end with e or i

that’s it! no need to remember some abstract “type”. just a stem for each verb

      April 29 2010. ✨ THOUGHTS ON FLASH ✨
For those who recall, 16 yrs ago TODAY, Steve Jobs published the infamous letter entitled THOUGHTS ON FLASH where he outlined why iOS was NOT going to support Adobe's Flash which started a row between the two companies.

      a letter titled Thoughts on Flash Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven – they say we want to protect our App Store – but in reality it is based on technology issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true. Let me explain. First, there’s “Open”. Second, there’s the “full web”. Third, there’s reliability, security and performance. Fourth, there’s battery life. Fifth, there’s Touch. Sixth, the most important reason.
