I am flattered that my hero receives so much publicity. J/K
I believe that Merry actually did the slaying of the Witch King while Eowyn was kind of just there. I also believe that the weapon he was using contributed to the defeat of the Witch King.
I believe that when the Witch King said no living man he meant people in general. I also do not think that he meant that quite as literally as everyone takes it. It may have been a good deal of boasting, yet there was still truth in the statement.
