Actually, "was" is the correct grammar.

You don't include prepositional phrases in the number when matching verb to noun.

Correct: Ashley Randele and her parents, Tom and Kathy, were watching an episode of “NCIS.”

Correct: Ashley Randele, along with her parents Tom and Kathy, was watching an episode of “NCIS.”

Incorrect: Ashley Randele, along with her parents Tom and Kathy, were watching an episode of “NCIS.”

I caught that too........... Shoulda been “wuz”

Just yesterday I read an article on F.R. The author said. “He pursed a senate seat.”

It does not bother me in the least when F.R. members misspell a word or make grammatical errors, heaven knows, I make my share but people who get paid for writing should know better.
