You are supposed to write your own speech, duh.  Of course, I could write one for you, but if I do, you have to give me the prize.\n\nAnd, while you are at it, learn how to spell the word "speech."

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.

What a shame. So many incorrect answers.\n\nJim and I versus Jim and Me\nFor some writers and speakers, the case of a pronoun becomes especially troublesome when that pronoun is compounded with something or someone else. When the pronoun is being used as a subject, there is usually no problem:\n\nJim and I are playing tennis this afternoon.\nJim and she are playing tennis this afternoon.\nWe learn this lesson so well — getting cuffed on the ears and being forced to stand in the corner when we say "Jim and me are playing tennis. . . " — that when the object form of the pronoun is truly called for, we're apt to come up with the subject form instead, as in "Grandma left Jim and I her rocking chair," which is bad form, indeed. \n\nThere is a simple rule here that seems to work very well, at least in writing. Ask yourself what pronoun form you would use without adding the other person — "Grandma left me her rocking chair" (coming up with the correct form for the indirect object) — and then, when you add the other person, don't change the form of the pronoun: "Grandma left Jim and me her rocking chair." \n\nThis rule works whether the pronoun is being used as an indirect object, as above, as a direct object — "The policeman stopped Jim and me" — or as the object of a preposition — "Grandma gave her rocking chair to Jim and me." Some writers and speakers will mistakenly say "This is just between Jim and I," not realizing that the preposition "between" calls for the object form of both pronouns, including "me."\n\nThe rule also pertains to sentences in which a pronoun is compounded with yet another pronoun: "Grandma gave her rocking chair to him and me, but that's just between you and me."\n\nNotice that when "I" is compounded with another subject, the "other person" or people get first billing: "Jim and I are playing," not "I and Jim." This is one of the very few polite forms in English.

My vote:  TSKTSKS\n\nEXPLANATION\n\nFIRST, what IS a vowel?\n\nbostonianinmo is correct - in words like "sky" the "y" IS a vowel.  The very fact that "bi-" and "by" rhyme, or that you sometimes find "rimed" instead of "rhymed" is evidence of this.\n\nThe idea that ONLY a,e,i,o and u (or even "sometimes y") are vowels in based on oversimplified definition they gave us in grade school.  In fact, a vowel is, before all else, a type of SOUND rather than a type of LETTER.  We call specific letters "vowels" because these letters are the ones TYPICALLY used to indicate the vowel sounds.\n(compare http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxword00.html)\n\nRemember that SPEECH has the primacy and that a word is, first of all a SPOKEN thing.  Writing systems were created as a means to make a record of speech.\n\nNote that the three sounds indicated by the letters "h" "w" and "y" are all weak "semi-vowels" which can easily become vowels or even disappear (as "h" at the end of a syllable).  The basic rule is that, whenever "y" or "w" BEGIN a syllable they mark consonants; at the middle of end of a syllable they mark VOWELS.  (In the case of "w", except for words from the Welsh, like "cwm" [pronounced "coom"!] w is only used for vowels in diphthongs, e.g., "How now brown cow?"     It's even easier to see that they are functioning vowels if you note that final "oy" is pronounced exactly like the "oi" in the middle of a word, and "ow" is pronounced like "ou".)\n\n(Of course, one of my favorite words in all this is "why", made up ONLY of semi-vowels.)\n\n------------------------\n\nThere ARE words without vowel SOUNDS (and in which none of the letters indicates a vowel).   They are various "interjections", such as the following:\n\nbrr(r)\ngrr(r)\ntsk\nshh(h) \npsst\nhmm\nmm-hmm\n\nThis last one might be the longest all by itself.  (It is true we might add extra letters to many such words, e.g., h's to "shh" or r's to "brr".  But that would be cheating. And where would you stop?!)\n\nI think the longest bona fide word of this sort is "tsktsks" used as a verb, the equivalent of "utters a tsktsk" or "expresses disapproval", e.g., "he tsktsks her suggestions".

I'm not sure what you mean by "reported speech."  If you quote someone, then you print it the way they said it, even if they used a gerund where an infinitive is better.\n\nThe difference often shows whether or not a person is well-educated.  The biggest error is in reference to "I plan" or "I intend."  I plan to go to something; I intend to do something.  "I plan going" or "I intend doing" is at least less correct, if not exactly wrong.  A gerund is really a noun, but it is a noun about a verb.  "Skateboarding is not a crime."  "Hitchhiking is potentially dangerous."  "Showing off can make enemies."
