Examples of EIGHTH in a Sentence

1. Jean Guerrero:

   Hell, I was on the Jay Leno Show about the book, and the LA Times couldn't care less, by any standards, I'm a success story, come from the inner city … I defy anybody to follow my father's past: eighth grade drop out, buying a house that cost $600,000 by working two jobs. You could never do it. They don't care about that, but they care about calling me a sellout, and Uncle Tom, and Jean Guerrero and the LA Times should be ashamed of themselves.

Elsie Fisher's performance is incredible. I think what it really shares with the John Hughes films is the fact that it's really funny and yet it's really moving.

5. Florence Widdicombe:

   We opened them about a week ago and we were writing in them, and on about my sixth or eighth card, somebody had already written in it.
