Hi, cookiegirl200
"say nothing" is a block that used to be in old versions of Scratch - but it got taken out. It turns red, because it is now what we call "obsolete" - it's not in the current version of Scratch. But the project should still run correctly 
Hope this helps!

Re: Weird block on project...
To add on to what Wolfie1996 said, the block is obselete, but there is a new block that does exactly the same thing: just make it literally say nothing, using the [say [] ] block. Just use that block and you can get the exact same effect!

Re: Weird block on project...
There are some others like "set blur effect to ____" and "Set stretch to ___%"

Re: Weird block on project...
That's OK - we're always happy to help!
@coolstuff: I never thought of using the "say []" block to make a sprite stop talking - thanks!

I honestly don't know... They've taken out a few blocks like that. It could have something to do with lag.
Why don't they take everything out then?

Well, more lag than most blocks
