body: The two seem very similar in purpose. Here is an example of one each:
  
  
  <https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/no-strict-construction>
  
  
  
  > 
  > No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be
  >  deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
  >  mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied
  >  against any party.
  > 
  > 
  > 
  
  
  <https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/contra-proferentem>
  
  
  
  > 
  > Contra Proferentem. Each provision of this Deed will be interpreted
  >  without disadvantage to the party who (or whose representative)
  >  drafted that provision.
  > 
  > 
  > 
  
  
  Does "strict construction" usually mean "don't consider context as much as you usually would when interpreting this document"?
