To answer your questions, French people don't have 'Vrai' and 'Faux'.
Since most of people have no idea what "csv" means, there's no use for
using "dsv"! The "Académie Française" would not be happy indeed.
But to keep on the subject, I personally never had troubles using T or

Ditching T/F for TRUE/FALSE would get my vote, too.

There is, however, an important distinction.
Quoting from ?TRUE (or ?logical):
'TRUE' and 'FALSE' are reserved words denoting logical constants
in the R language, whereas 'T' and 'F' are global variables whose
initial values set to these. All four are 'logical(1)' vectors.

Furthermore using F's and T's to represent TRUE's and FALSE's is
bad practice anyway. Since FALSE and TRUE are reserved words it
would make sense for the read function to assume that a field is
logical if it consists entirely of these words. But T'
It is strange. Even in R itself T and F are not guaranteed to be TRUE
and FALSE.
