which is the root of culpability, so I would translate it as
"I am the one responsible for this problem"
which is just a longer way of saying "my bad" anyway.

| Arg. This thread ("The meaning of Christmas", etc.) was okay in lugnet.off-topic.debate, but please, please, *please* don't bring it into off-topic.fun. Or at least, please change the subject line so we know it's a fun message, not a debate/flamewar (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
