How do you distinguish between U2nt and '2 suits' ?

The reason is that Michaels is not available and also you cannot bid 2♥.

(4♠)-4N
Two suits

(4♥)-4N
Minors, with spades you would have bid 4♠. (What to do with a ♠+m hand too strong for 4♠ I donno. Maybe 5♥.)

(1NT)-pass-(2♥)-2N
Minors. With hearts+m you would have doubled (or maybe bid 2♠ if that is Michaels, but I think standard is 2♠=3-suited take-out, especially against a weak 1NT).
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

OK, got it so far ty.

Now if 2nt bidder has 5♥ and 5♦ does a 3♦ bid indicate ♥'s and ♦'s or would they bid 3♥ here?

(1♠) p (2♠) 2NT*
(p) 3♣ (p) ?

The former, correcting 3♣ to 3♦ shows the reds so that parter can pick. (Partner could have 2 hearts 3 diamonds and 4 clubs.)
