no, they merely catch your eye
strictly visual
yes, the actual words that you select to highlight in this fashion do matter
and yes, any sort of visual contrast will do
<font color=red>hey</font> also works, right?
but B isn't deprecated

are you asking for an explanation?
you cannot style something unless you have a "hook" in the html
usually this means some kind of markup, a tag
there are exceptions, like descendant selector, child selector, adjacent
sibling selector, and so on
but these methods aren't going to let you style selected words easily
you actually have to use some kind of tag
i just happen to think that SPAN is the worst of the lot
clearer?
