An 8" x 10" piece of paper is typically used with 8" as the width. All paper is measured width first.

Depends on what you're measuring. TV screen dimensions, for example, use two versions. Width by height (4x3 or 16x9) describes the shape of the picture: regular or widescreen. And yet we speak of a 26" TV in just that one dimension, which is neither height nor width, but a diagonal measurement of size.
Generically, I use height x width x depth, but I always take care that each dimension is labelled height or width or depth, since there is this confusion about the order. I'm sure someone has established an Official Universal Standard somewhere, but not enough people know what it is, obviously.

It doesn't matter. Typically people write down height first, because it comes first in the alphabet. Height x width x length is what I normally see in books.

I think height is first - we say length by width, so we would say height by width - width would be the second measurement.

always length width height but many many people write L, W, H next to them to remove confusion during construction.
