This passes as English with the Associated Press these days?

Yeah, well what about the first half of that sentence?

...Those nominees were not guaranteed confirmation votes in the centrist agreement...

No bias there, eh?

Good catch. The problem is that "try and block" is what almost everyone says these days. I don't think schools teach grammar anymore.

The other one is, "Joe and myself went to the movie." Or, "He gave it to myself."
