Interesting idea. I went ahead and tested:

Gathering a large, high quality dataset from the internet is probably not so easy. A lot of the content on HN/Reddit/forums is of low quality grammatically and often written by non-native English speakers (such as myself). Movie dialogues don't necessarily consist of grammatically correct sentences like the ones you'd write in a letter. Perhaps there is some public domain contemporary literature available that could be used instead or alongside the dialogues?

EDIT: Unrelated to this project, I have this general fear of language recommendation tools trained on just low-quality comments or emails. A simple thesaurus and a grammar-checker are often enough to find the right words when writing. But a tool that could understand my intent and then propose restructured or similar sentences and words that convey the same meaning could be a true killer application.
