Hei guys, I need help from those of you who knows latin. I'm interested in translating this phrase from Sherlock Holmes in latin: "An exception disproves the rule". My best guess is "Exceptio regulae improbat" but I'm not really sure about it. Anyone who'd share his knowledge with me?

>Exception that proves the rule

>This meaning of the phrase, which for Fowler is the original and clearest meaning,[1] is thought to have emerged from the legal phrase "exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis",

looks like exceptio improbat regulam / exceptio regulam improbat is correct
