our problem, the English speakers (the Americans too), is that there are damn few words in English that have no vowels and we are as a consequence doomed to feel a need to insert one somewhere in a word we find with none. B)

Good hand for specific aces. But without such a convention, I'd have opened 1♥, jumpshift to 3♣. Opening 2♣ just doesn't allow you enough room to show both suits, and you're hardly gonna get passed out in 1♥...

4NT to ask for specific aces might run into the spade ace and what then? It seems a bit dangerous to me.

Spilled beer on the keyboard and then cried on it too. What a waste.

Casaba, if I could prove you were a fool, I would keep it to myself ---since I agree with considerably more than half your posts. I will try to spell it right when I just choose to employ sarcasm.

When Hts are agreed, Meckwell plays 4S! as RKC and 4NT! as Exclusion ( Sp void ).
Whether they play it after an early Sp response is the question:

2♣-2♠
3♥-3NT
4♣-4♥
4NT! ( RKC for Hts, excluding the Sp Ace ) - 5♦ ( 1 key )
6♥

seems like an easy 3♥ rebid... pard will probably bid 3NT or 4♥ and it might go, say

(4♣ 4♥)

4NT 5♦
6♥
