Hearing people who compliment on how you speak is just that... a compliment. They don't mean it in any other way. You have to understand that most hearing people have no clue about the deaf culture and don't think that they are upsetting you. If they find out your deaf, many of them automatically think that you can't communicate verbally and when they hear you talk, they are surprised. My daughter is deaf and i hear it all the time but i take it as a compliment more than anything else.
