Can oral english ignore grammar in this sentence?

the sentence "are you trick me into doing something".

we know there is a grammar error in the sentence,

i think it should be "tricking" in here ,or "do you trick...".

but i know lots of native speakers ,they don't care the gammar problems in oral english.

eg. "what you doing ","how you doing","where you going"

i'v heard tons of them.

so my question is :

by any chance, the sentence "are you trick me into doing something" .

the native speakers say it normally ,and they don't think it's a poblem in oral english?

thank you !

It is not heard in any normal spoken English. ', the speaker has elided the verb 'are'. That does not happen with the -ing ending (as in trick[-ing]).
