It looks to me like you copying and pasting content into posts without using the correct icons in the Visual editor. You need to be cautious and use the correct approach when copying and pasting from any document created in a word processor.
Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
Formatting
_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/
You can delete any duplicate post by going here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts and hovering over the title. Then click “trash”.

Enabling the auto-correct option will prevent some errors in future posts, but it will have no effect on your already published posts, and anyway it can correct one type of error only.
To clean up your posts, edit each post, select all in the Visual editor, copy, switch the editor to Text, select all, paste, then switch back to Visual, re-insert the image, click Update.In the future, never copypaste from other sources into the Visual editor: when you need to paste, paste into the Text editor, so that only the text and no wrong code will be inserted.
