Because the gods of grammar conjugation say so.\n\nIt is an irregular verb.  You just have to memorize it.

I don't want ot come across as a kn*b or anything but what do you mean - for use in what way? There are desalination plants that turn salt water in fresh water, marine life tends to prefer salt water...\n\nFlippantly (which no doubt will get me no points) all water is immediately available for use.

It isn't the person/people that are in error here, it is the use of the English language.  I think what "they" mean is water has no flavor.  Where as you, I and "they" would definitely have an opinion of whether it tastes, good/bad the same as pretty much anything else we might chose to put in our mouth.

Yeah, but spell correctly. You don't want to look stupid.\nie.- "through" not "throw"

There is a group of verbs called "flat" adverbs, which are not marked with the "ly" ending, but are still adverbs nonetheless.  "Fast" is one of these, I believe; it has been an adverb for hundreds of years.  Interestingly, I suspect that "quick" is also one of these, and has probably only been modified to "quickly" relatively recently in the history of English.

Although not in the dictionary as a verb, it is certainly common practice to do so. This is because of the flexibilty of the English language; and I'm sure that in a few years' time, it will become a a verb in the OED.\nWritten English tends to remain more formal than spoken; but it is the development of spoken English that expands our dictionaries every year.\nSome linguists will argue that, so long as the intended meaning is clear and identical to both parties, then it is perfectly acceptable.

I think this is a case of a writer, or his editor, searching for a word and not coming up with the word he intended. I think he was looking for "tapped," which can mean selected, but his mind gave him "tabbed" instead. It's not the making of a noun into a verb that is the problem. That's done all the time in informal English. It's just not a good word choice.

Actually, in most places the correct verb for this context is "speak", but you'll hear "talk" substituted by some speakers.  Some people may think of such a speech pattern as "uneducated", but it could well be a dialectal thing.

be, do and have because they can function as both auxiliary and main verbs.  see his link:  http://www.bartleby.com/64/C001/014.html

An intransitive verb is an action verb, but it does not have a direct object. The action ends rather than being transferred to some person or object or is modified by an adverb or adverb phrase..\n\nso in the above sentence ' was ' is the intransitive verb\ntake care

Probably refering to thier wet pants. But it's actually meant ' to have a drink.'

well, I can speak for "cold"  \n\nIt comes from the root of the word, which is actually "cold condition."\n\nOne catches a "cold condition" rather than "catches cold condition"
