It is due to the AutoItalicWords option for the cell.
In[1]:= ?AutoItalicWords

"AutoItalicWords is an option for Cell which gives a list of
words which should automatically be put in italics when they are
entered.



In particular the AutoItalicWords option for a Text cell has the value

AutoItalicWords -> {Mathematica, MathLink, MathSource, MathReader,
MathScript}

Hence these words will be italizized after you have typed them into a
Text cell and then typed a space or a punctuation mark.

This option is set at the level of the notebook style sheet for the
case you are encountering.

If nb is your notebook and you seldect a cell in that notebook then
executing

Options[NotebookSelection[nb], AutoItalicWords]

in another notebook will sowyou the option setting for AutoItalicWords
for the selection in the notebook nb.
