Not the only one at fault!

[Harry]

Would someone be kind enough to tell mewhat "mea culpa" would become if more than one person was to blame?

That is to say, there is still only one fault, but several people are to blame.

Many thanks.

 

[Appius]

I'd say: nostra culpa (our fault)

 

[Akela]

Who are we blaming here?

 

[Harry]

Us.

(ie 1st person plural, rather than singular)

I meant more specifically

I am just too curious, sorry.

Ah - I'm the editor of a local weekly newspaper.

We've just misquoted the Latin motto of a local town.

I want to use a succinct headline in Latin on the correction.

If anyone can improve on nostra culpa, please feel free to make a suggestion.

Or not, as the case may be! :?

Or not what? Not to improve on nostra culpa?
I'd love to help you, just tell me what would you like to say (in English of course)

I just wondered if anyone of more erudition than I might be able to suggest something (with a touch of wit, perhaps) that might fit the circumstances.

I wouldn't dare to attempt it myself.
