Although it pains me to ruin my perfect post count, it pains me even more that I don't know if my sentence is correct. Can I say "It's neither of our faults" meaning "It's neither my nor your fault"?

"It's not my fault." + "It's not your fault." → "It's neither of our faults."

Should fault(s) be singular or plural?
Should our(s) be a possessive pronoun or a possessive adjective?
Is the whole idea just wrong from the start?
 
Your title sentence is used informally.

You'll be interested to read this thread from another forum.
 
"It's neither of our faults" is perfectly good.

:up:
 
It may be grammatical but it sounds wrong to me. I'd prefer It's neither your fault nor mine.
