I saw a t-shirt recently which said, "Esperanto Estigas Pacon."

It seemed okay to me, but after seeing a reference on this forum today regarding intransitiviy, I had to wonder whether the sentence on the shirt is grammatically correct. Or should "Paco" be without the "-n"?

The sentence is quite correct as the suffix "ig" ever makes transitive verbes.

Thank you.
Studying Esperanto has really pointed out my weaknesses as regards a technical understanding of grammar.

Learning a new language is somehow equal to see things from a new point of view.This is ever not that easy ridulo.gif .

What you say is true, and I do enjoy having my point of view shaken up! rideto.gif
