I pasted in a few pages of my writing from one of my sites into your http://polishmywriting.com and clicked "Polish."
It didn't appear to do anything.
Apparently it didn't find anything wrong with any page except one that contained the word "infuriating", which it felt was spelled incorrectly. I think that's irony. Also, Oxford disagrees: http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/infuriate?view=uk
So back to the first point, if you don't find anything wrong with my text after processing it, I'd recommend putting up a note like "Looks good to me" or some sort of indicator that something happened rather than the button just being broken.
