Dyslexic Cavers...

[hell little caver]

Who blamed you?

To ask each person to evacuate a building is making them each personally responsible for emptying the building. If you are speaking to them individually then the action you want from them is to get out, or leave. If you are responsible for getting the people out, it is you that is evacuating the building not them.

Five minute argument or half an hour? 

Very good. 
Graham is right, you are very pedantic at times.
But you yourself have told me that the langauge is a wonderful thing to be used in its full variety.

And if the building needs evacuating quickly then "GET OUT!" does quite well too. Short, sweet and unambiguous.

Kay's mention of a spell checker designed with dyslexics in mind is intriguing.
How does it differ in use from a regular one?

The software my son is using is Read and Write Gold, which is a spell checking text to speech program with many
...
This gives a quite good review:

Hi Kay, many thanks for that, an interesting piece of software to handle a difficult problem.
Text to speech software amazes me, I used to have something for my old 16bit Win3.11 PC  - totally obsolete now and I have never found a newer version of the software.

Evacuate means specifically to empty.

Yes, but it also has a second specific meaning and that is 'to remove from a place of danger to a safer place'.
