BBradley's point about rebids after a 1S opener and 1NT response is valid but 3C seems to stand out to the point where I wouldn't consider it much of a problem.

The lesson - which GIB veterans like myself should have known - it that it is so often deadly to overbid, or even bid what with a human partner would be normal aggressive bidding.

2S is the generic bid with 5+ Spades. 3S sets trump and asks for cue bidding. (Show an ace, bid 3NT with any side kings, raise to 4 with neither) 4S is a hand a trick better than a 4S preempt perhaps AQJTxxxx, AK, xx, x.
