You can’t verb a verb

I paid a visit to the Planet Fitness website so I could transfer my membership, and I found this little error hiding out in one of the menus:

“Select” can be a verb or an adjective.  You can “select” a slice of cheesecake from a dessert tray.  You can throw a party for a “select” group of friends.  But I’m here to tell you that you can’t choose a “select” from a menu.
