Sorry, no. I was with you on your comment on doing. However, "working class" is an actual term [1] that does not fit your intended message.

Perhaps the refrain "reading comprehension is key" is a sign that comprehensible writing is in order.

Again, reading comprehension is key.

If there's a repeating pattern of people not understanding what you're writing, why not write more clearly? It will make everything better.
