Good to have this answer, Valerie... Answer: That little curved line is called a "Simultaneous Line". The right and left movements are happening "at the same". No, it does not mean smooth, it means "at the same time". So would differentiating between the simultaneous line and the smooth line simply come from a knowledge of the sign itself? Or is one line slightly longer than the other or something like that? 'Semantics', I know, but still important when you're trying to teach this to others (and get it clear yourself!). Thanks. Btw, just to let you know, our group (as homework for the SW Literacy Project) has begun trying to do our grocery lists, etc. in SW. Good practice and lots of fun, too!
