The word, Aberystwyth, is actually the name of a town in Wales, so rather than heading to my usual word reference guide (Merriam-Webster), I chose to use the OED, assuming that, being British and all, it would include this English town.

The word, Aberystwyth, is actually the name of a town in Wales, so rather than heading to my usual word reference guide (Merriam-Webster), I chose to use the OED, assuming that, being British and all, it would include this English town.
Boy was I wrong.
