2NT is 100% ________________, except when it isn't, for me too.

The situation, IMO, is sort of like this. We sit down and agree Dury. However, when it comes up, neither of us know whether the other will expect 2♦ to be the weak bid or 2M as the weak bid.

This has never happened to me. 2M is the weak bid.

I guess I rarely play with partners who stopped paying attention to the bridge world before WW I or s.th. like that.

A friend of mine from the local club is going to play a few sessions with my wife, her partner, and me in Boston. He plays 2♦ as the weak bid. I had to dust him off before our first game. LOL
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
