Plural?[edit]

Wouldn't this be potters' fields ? -- 65.94.76.126 16:07, 4 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

If it literally meant fields owned by potters- sure. In the usage we're talking about, though, it's an idiom that has nothing to do with who owns the place. Chuck Entz (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
