I tried it out on a few comments from the long google memo articles, and the response was good. Specially sentiment, and reading difficulty level.
One thing that was annoying was marking the word "very" as a weasel word -- in the instances it seemed correctly used. "Controversial" vs "very controversial".
Also, modern convention of using straight quotes ("") has become the norm. Marking these for change to curly quotes is just fighting against a change that's already occurred in written english -- alteast for phrases and not spoken sentences.
Good work! I'd especially like for this to be an offline-checker that the browser provides for all textboxes (the way spellcheck is today provided).
For professional typesetters, straight quotes are not the norm. Proper quotes are still expected. However, if you are not a typesetter, you don't really need to worry about it.
