What is the cliche? Oh, yes:
"A poor craftsman blames his tools."

If you are going to make broad generalizations about a group of people, it is wise not to make the same kinds of mistakes that you accuse them of. If you are going to accuse someone of using poor grammar, it is best to proofread before hitting "Submit."

I DID WROTE WHOM.
Is it my 'poor craftsmanship' which causes my keyboard's 'n' key to keep doubling signals as well, forcing me to have to keep deleting the appendix time and time again?

Here's a cliche for you:
"Don't make me destroy you!" Image

Was it my fault, I would've claimed responsibility for it.

That would be "Were it my fault".

I thought it was were, AFAIR, but it didn't make sense to me so I went with was.
Care to explain why?

I mean, the way I see it:
Was refers to the fault.
"was it", it what? it = the alleged fault, the mistake I've made in allegedly writing who instead of whom.
At least as far as I can grasp it.
So why does "it" receive in this instance were instead of was?
At least, I thought He/She/It receive was and I/You/They/Them get were (although I take it that sometimes it's okay to use 'was' for I??).

I miss my friend who had 2nd degree in English.
Derail the thread a bit please and shed some light on this for me.

Your conjugation is correct for the indicative mood, but in this sort of sentence you use something called the subjunctive mood. It's used to distinguish between saying something that is true, and something that might be true or is a conditional part of a sentence. For example, when you say "were it my fault" or "if it were my fault", you are implicitly saying that it is not your fault, as well as offering some conditional statement about what would be true (but isn't!) if it were your fault.

I hope at least some of that makes sense.
