Yeah, I agree. In my first Japanese text book way back when.. it never taught us those terms.. the verbs were simply referred to as るverbs and うverbs. So every time I tried to explain to Japanese people that I had no idea how to conjugate verbs ending in dictionary form る that I was unfamiliar with, they could never understand what I meant. I had to draw it out for them.
BTW.. is there anyway you have heard of to tell which they are for the ones that end in dictionary form る other than through experience？
