Usage notes

• As a "tv-tas" is Dutch for "TV-bag" (not in regular use as a word otherwise, dedicated bags for TVs being rare), this is commonly used as a mnemonic to remember the west-to-east order of the major Dutch islands in the North Sea. The pronunciation of this initialism follows this mnemonic usage.
