I'm a life-long lipreader, and I can verify that this is ACTUALLY what the man's saying, or close enough to make no difference :-) Lipreading is STRANGE. Have someone alternate saying "I love you" and "olive juice" through a window to you (so you can't hear), in an unpredictable pattern, and see how hard it is :-)
Turns out there's a lot of these "Bad Lipreading" videos; the Obama one is hilarious.

Actually, it doesn't have that much to do with enunciation.
The way speech works, some words will always look the same. For instance, "fine" and "vine" will look exactly the same to a lip reader, because the mouth language is exactly the same and we make distinctions because we either use our vocal chords or do not use them. You can't see that by sight (or at least I don't think you can) |

She's got that right. A lot of lipreading is in the context, without which we can be hopelessly lost. If you and I are discussing, say, the collapse of the Red Sox at the end of the season, and at some point, without any overt signals, you switch to talking about the Patriots' chances against the Jets this weekend, you will leave me floundering until you say something so obviously Patriot/football oriented that I can make the mental crossover.
In the real world, even the best lipreader, working in real time, will miss a significant percentage of words and rely on extrapolation to get them right. I'm constantly storing assumptions about what you just said and processing them against the current information flow, adjusting my perception of your message in a sort of time-delayed way. The better I know you, the less lag there will be. Nirvana is real-time communication, and it's hard to attain.

Bear can address that issue. I fact I hear him typing in the next room, so he may already be doing so. Anyhow, one of the first things he instilled in me was to tell him when I was changing the topic, so that he wasn't trying to "choose" words from a vocabulary based on the topic we "had" been talking about. He also found my residual English accent hard to lipread. I have to tell you it wasn't the most romantic experience to have him ask his long standing friends to repeat what I was saying in a conversation, because he could lipread them but not me!! But as you know, we survived all that...
ETA: Yes, I'm a slow typist, and Bear was addressing that issue.!!

| And if someone "tries" too hard to enunciate clearly, they end up speaking unnaturally which is actually harder for the lipreader. I know because that's what I initially did.. |

| Oh wow! Yesterday my husband and I were watching the live feed from the Occupy Wall Street site, and there was a guy at Liberty Plaza walking around with a sign that read "Save a pretzel for the gas jets." We pondered the meaning of this phrase for a loooong time...LOL! |
