... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

What is my "how good are your spades" ask?
2-tops to 4S; less 3S.

3♣
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"
"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

3♣ seems fine, at MPs I might consider pass.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Put me down for 2NT. If partner has enough to raise to game, he might have the courtesy to put down some diamond stoppers, even a spade stopper wouldn't hurt!
(Admittedly the hand is offshape, but I don't think it is understrength, a decent 14 should be plenty for a balancing 2NT)

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

2NT is far from being unreasonable for me, if not a better bid.
