R help - Mar 2006 - conflicts Var names

Dear R users
 
 I have read somewhere which I don't remember that some variable names
 are not to be used for conflict avoidance. and those were (c, q, T, F,
 T)
 I ran this
 > conflicts(detail=TRUE)
 $.GlobalEnv
 [1] "ts"
 
 $"package:methods"
 [1] "body<-"
 
 $"package:stats"
 [1] "ts"
 
 $"package:base"
 [1] "body<-"
 
 I don't note ts was in the list of to-avoid "oh I think it was some
 tips and tricks relating to R". at this point, it is recommended to
 rename my ts variable in my code?
 
 thank you

Well, it is nice to avoid such names, but since R distinguishes 
functions vs. data, you can live with it if you are aware of the problem.
