Is this grammatically correct?

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

I passed this in the window of the local Pandora shop and had to take a closer look because the wording just seemed so odd.
I think it might be ok, but it just sounds so...clunky.
"Become extinct" just flows better. Or even "Be extinct"

"Go" seems to indicate you could come back, and I'm pretty sure extinction is a one way street.

I just feel if you're going to spunk £55 on a rose gold bejewelled statement of hysterical BFFness you'd want it to be grammatically correct.

Disclaimer- I am the sort of person who tweets companies when they have spelling mistakes in their literature.

I think 'go' is correct in this instance.

I agree that become flows better but not sure if there is an actual grammatical error.

As all the experts say going extinct or gone extinct I would guess its correct but I'm dyslexic and often get it wrong 🤷‍♀️

The grammar is fine.

The linguistic style is questionable.

I consider myself corrected! Thanks all

Agree - I would say theirs is grammatically incorrect.

It's grammatically correct.

I think it should be 'will never become extinct'. 'Will never go extinct' just sounds all wrong - 'extinct' by its very definition means it's already happened, so combining it with use of future tense 'will never go' just sounds awful. Plus we say 'they became extinct' when relevant so it should be 'will never become'!

You're confusing grammar with idiom/style, but yes it sounds clunky. I would say 'become extinct', not 'go extinct'.

Yes I've looked it up now and Go and Become are interchangeable in this sense. However I maintain that Become would be more elegant in this case.

'extinct' by its very definition means it's already happened

Eh? No it doesn't. Pandas are at risk of going extinct >> future.

I agree with you, it looks awful.

I Googled and found this.
It appears that the verb phrase “go extinct” has made a place for itself. In its earliest sense, the word “extinct” meant “extinguished,” and was a past participle of the verb “extinguish.” ... So the most common verbal usages for many centuries were “be/is/are/was/were extinct,” or “become/became extinct*.”

If you wouldn't say "go extinguished", which I wouldn't, then "go extinct" seems to follow the same rule.

@WeshMaGueule You put the future tense verb 'going' in front of 'extinct'. The word 'extinct' on its own means a species has already died out. That's what I was trying to describe, maybe clumsily.

Go extinct has been around for a while and gives me the rage.

These random changes in the way we say or pronounce our own language are so annoying.
Other examples: Ay banana instead of Uh banana.
Crative instead of Cre-ative.
Dip- lodicus instead of Diplo-docus.
Sloth (rhyming with moth) instead of Slowth.
I’m even more annoyed by US usage over here: Bathroom for toilet.
Underwear for pants.
Principal for head teacher and Students for schoolchildren.
Is Dessert American for pudding? Not sure about that one.
