The conclusions you make on what many deaf people prefer when communicating is extremely simplified and alien to me as a deaf person.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. My statement is based on what I have read mostly on this board from other deaf individuals.

If you want to avoid confusion when communicating with hearing people then quite simply, tell them you are deaf.
