This post is related to a discussion on povray.programming. See the
thread on font metric functions for the scene file.
Maybe someday I'll make a scene with a coin like this in it. In this
case I only wanted my motto on the coin as a test case--after all, what
better place to put a motto?

Something like "it's all _his_ fault", IRC.
Btw, shouldn't it read "sua" ?

Think it's more like 'everyone is responsible'. And the LSE I'd
guess is the London School of Economics, I'd imagine they'd have
a moto like that.

Close, but the gender of the pronoun is wrong. For "his" I believe the
appropriate pronoun would be "suo" or "sui" (I think sui, if the case is
right). I had to do a lot of research to translate my motto into Latin,
and the pronoun was the hardest part; at first I thought it was "sua"
too, but some checking on cases led me to the conclusion that I should
be using the genitive case, "suae". (Wish I'd had Latin in high school.)
My motto is the oldest excuse known to mankind. :)

I agree with those who said that it had to be "sua". If I remember well,
the Latin processes as does the French, so the pronoun gender is the one
of the noun following it. Since "culpa" is feminine and from the type
"rosa, rosae", the form of "suus, a, um" that you will choose is the
same as the one name.
So, IMHO, either you put "suae culpae", if you want to put it as a
genitive case relative to "omnia", or all in nominative case if you want
it to be the translation of "it's all _his_ fault".
