I've recently submitted a text using the verb form of "potting" meaning
to make or fashion pots, as by a potter.  My ed. suggests that this is
"unusual" or that I may be a little "potty".  English colleagues take
this verb form to mean putting plants in "flower pots".  I'd very much
appreciate feedback on this because I do not have access to a really big
dictionary of American.  Thanks.
