    Isn’t a tab delimeted spreadsheet normally called a TSV, as in “Tab-Separated Values”?

    Isn’t CSV literally Comma-Separated Values?

    Sorry, pedantry doesn’t die.

      A little bit yes, a little bit no

      Tab delimited csv are sometimes called tsv, but just as often you’ll see csv (tab delimited) as a file type option

      See the wiki section on standardization for details.

      Csv currently includes the following delimiters:

      Comma, space, tab, pipe, or semicolon
