"Cashier has a point and gains four inches driving this farm equipment." (11)
The answer is Telehandler (one of those forklift machines with a telescopic boom).
I'll leave it for 30 mins in case anyone wants to attempt a solution.

A cashier is a teller
and four inches (in horse height) is a hand
not sure where 'e' comes from

Well done! E is a point of the compass (N,S,E,W).

Tursday. What will auto-correct choose?
|
|
|
|

Ah, the day between Wednesday and Friday in Ireland.

Tursday ==signature==> {a,d,r,s,t,u,y}
Tuesday ==signature==> {a,d,e,s,t,u,y}
Thursday ==signature==> {a,d,h,r,s,t,u,y}
1 letter of difference but one string has the same lenght and the other not. Even comparing the signatures (one of the most common algorithms to group words) the difference is greater. So I'd say Tuesday, unless additional heuristics correct the word.

Tuesday (Google, chrome, Win10)
Tuesday but with a Thursday option (Google, Chrome, GBoard, Android)
Thursday, but with a Tuesday option - plus a Thursdays (Visual Studio "Spell Checker" extension)
Tuesday, with a Thursday and a Saturday option (LibreOffice)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Off by one error?

The whole point is if auto-correct changed spellings on its own the outcome would pretty much be controlled by it.
A President could send a note to his Military General "Let's plan an attack on Tursday".
One can well imagine the rest!

As I was saying Monday, I am breaking up with Bill Gates' grandkids.
The Lounge
Bought this dirt cheap notebook with Win10. Decided to zap it and replace it with Ubuntu. (Mostly to avoid the all them farking uninvited updates. Secondly to feed the illusion that I am free. )
Anyway, last night I created a Ubuntu-bootable USB schtick and fired it all up. Erased the disc. The whole world and the Ubuntu installer was smiling at me, ensuring me that the installation was progressing at least as well as expected.
Please reboot to complete the Ubuntu installation.
Hooray, almost there. After reboot:
No bootable media found.
Yay! Half a victory, no more Windoze!! Worst case I have a cool mat for the tea kettle! 
To be continued.
[EDIT:]
There is more to the story. I was trying to create a cliffhanger!
The comp is dead. Long live the comp!

Secure boot and legacy options in bios?
It has been given me problems as well.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's probably the guy.
FreeBSD allows you to create UEFI boot sticks, but it's more trouble than fixing the BIOS settings.

Google is your friend "Acer cloudbook 11 ubuntu":
The gist is to go into the BIOS with F2 and move the USB drive up to the top boot priority. Then reboot and install Ubuntu 15.10 as normal from a USB stick. However on reboot the machine will fail to load Ubuntu because secure boot is enabled (ugh), but it's a simple matter of going back into the BIOS and flipping a few levers to confirm that the Ubuntu OS on the drive is what you want secure boot to use.

If he's even a tiny bit like me he first tries doing it himself a dozen times. When all of his ideas are exhausted then he'll search.
