Programmatically with many expressions you can try this:

TraditionalForm[HoldForm[Det[{{a, 8}, {b, 1}}]]]
TraditionalForm[Defer[Det[{{a, 8}, {b, 1}}]]]

enter image description here

Read help on HoldForm and Defer and also take a look at Inactive which is useful in other situations. Also this blog could help:

Is it possible to edit the palletes so as to include the TraditionalForm of the determinant?

Never mind. I found I can easily convert to Traditional Form using Shift+Ctrl+T. Nevertheless, how may the ambiguities arise if I'm using this form? Is there a source whichh might indicate where those ambiguities might occur and where they are troublesome?

You might try using a palette in the Palettes menu item.
