    Is changing おきます to casual form おきる? I hear this often, but that would make it an exception to the いbecomesうrule. Right? Or perhaps it’s just a colloquialism?

    Basically, it’s not an exception to the “い becomes う” rule, but rather the “verbs with stems ending in い are group-1 verbs” rule. More succinctly: おきます is a group-2 verb, and conjugates as such. More info: http://www.textfugu.com/bb/topic/type-2-verbs-exceptions/

    Got it, thanks!  Another tiny step forward.
