I'm really not sure how to properly custom title this one. "8.8" is terribly awkward but it's the only title that makes sense other than just having none at all.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"It's a well-documented phenomenon. One might also call it Avoid The Dreaded B Grade.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I don't think the question was about whether or not we need the trope so much as whether or not we need to use the numerical value rather than the written word "eight". I personally prefer the written word as it's easier to work into trope lists.
Fight smart, not fair.I'm afraid I definitely have to agree with those supporting the 'EightPointEight' name, vs. the '8.8'. The former's easier to read, and fits better in indices, at least by my own ridiculous standards.

A liter of coffee no longer sends me into palpatations. I need to up my intake.Well I would say clarafy the custom title with like "8.8 review" or something. 8.8 and Eight Point Eight are not very clear on the trope itself.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!I'm not sure I understand why it would be hard to work into trope lists. Just as we do with numerical titles in work lists, we can simply list 8.8 prior to the "A" titled tropes.
Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!My inner Grammar Nazi also points out that it's bad style to begin a sentence with a numeral instead of spelling it out.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.8.8 looks kinda like an emoticon to me. One that depicts sad Puppy-Dog Eyes.

So, someone has given Eight Point Eight the custom title 8.8.
...Do we REALLY need this? It looks really awkward in trope lists and in the main body as well. it doesn't even look like a trope name.
