  Why are all these words being highlighted. Can it be turned off?

  Are you duplicating content by copying and pasting?
  If you are then the highlighting could be coming from the code you copied and pasted.

  Aside from that know that WordPress.COM software is not causing the highlighting. You could have an issue on your browser or computer. The highlighting can be being placed there by software on your own computer or browser sometimes caused by malware or a virus, but more often it is due to a browser extension or toolbar that you may have installed in your browser.

  These sites have further explanation and suggestions for eliminating the issue:

  The only highlighting I see is to linked posts on the blog. Will you provide a screenshot for Staff please? I’ll tag this thread for their attention. You can use http://snag.gy/ to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it. Don’t forget to subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.
