Why does VIM highlight some words?

Question

I noticed that with different colorschemes VIM is underlining/highlighting some words. Why is this and how to turn it off ?

Answer 1

I have came across two kinds of highlight that I don't like.

1.indent highlight and tab arrow reminder, you can solve it by adding

let g:indent_guides_enable_on_vim_startup = 0
set nolist

to ~/.vimrc.local

2.highlight the usual words, like Chinese words and wrong spell words, you can solve it by adding

set nospell

to ~/.vimrc.local
