(Tim) The EBU, wisely IMO, has regulated that the word "forcing" *in
isolation*
carries the implication of strength.  Thus where a bid is forcing but
may be weak there is automatically MI where the possible weakness is not
disclosed.  
 
 
1S pass 1NT (alert)
- yes please
- forcing
 
And you tell me I'm giving MI ? Hope not. 
98% of those who use classical forcing NT (ie including all kinds of
semi-weak hands) do likewise.
99% do understand.
From the 5% that tell me they understood it as "strong", a majority are
lawyering.
