"You using 'animal' as an insult?"

πŸ˜•

That's correct grammar? Damn! I thought I had her. I thought it would have to be:

"Are you using 'animal' as an insult?", or:
"You are using 'animal' as an insult?"

Hate English! Makes no sense! Hate it, hate it, hate it! 😞

When reading you add a short pauze with every ',-do-de-li-do' symbol.

The comma is important: You, using "animal" as an insult?

It's an idiomatic way of expressing irony.

(Just imagine) Nordlys (who should know better), using shabby grammar?
