No problemi. Anche che un tv show recentemente di mostrare ASL tutto malamente.

(I'm sorry if I screwed that up. Trying to say "No problem. Also recently there was a show that showed ASL badly". My Italian has gotten rusty.)

"Non c'è problema. Inoltre, di recente c'è stato uno show televisivo che ha malamente mostrato l' ASL."

Don't worry about it, you're excused because:
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">You're not a professional translator (as far as I know)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Italian is a pretty difficult language</span></li>
</ol>

It was some kind of comedy sketch. What happened was during an emergency there was an announcement with some official. Some comedy show decided to parody the ASL interpreter standing alongside him during the announcement. Only they apparently didn't use any signs at all. Just random hand movements. I didn't see it but there was quite an uproar in the Deaf community about it.

I just saw it. It's this one, isn't it?
