North starts with a double and then we run into the eternal BBF discussion about whether 2♦ by South shows reverse strength or not. In Acol Land I think it doesn't (by default) so I bid 2♥. And now the next question: is this a game force or not? If not, North probably has to bid 3NT. Which I think South should pass.

If South's cuebid is a gf (or if Lebensohl applies here, but .....), North can bid 3♣ and now South is headed for slam.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

north is enlightened, so bids 1s, and does not x. sth 2d rev, nth 2nt, 3s, 3nt.

Interesting, we'd bid 1N on the north hand south bids 2♦ and we'd either reach 3N or 5♣ depending on subsequent choices.

Are you interested in how I bid it?

double(4+♠)-1♠ (3 spades, forcing)
1NT-2♦
3♣

I would probably end up in 3NT as everyone else.

In natural methods:

1♠-2♦
3NT-pass

Seems textbookish to me:

1♣ (1♥) dbl
3♦ 3NT

Note: 3♦ is NF, showing a good 14 to 17 H

Also textbook but a different one.

1♣-(1♥)-dbl-(p)
2♦-(p)-2NT-(p)
3♣-(p)-3NT

Responder has promised at least a void in diamonds so 2♦ is a reverse.
I presume responders 'ratshit' bid should be 2♠ so 2NT is FG.
