I think it's ironic that you thanked me, when I was just being stupid! Doesn't anyone listen to Alanis?!
The dagger is NOT irony. It would have been ironic if it was a dagger of Angmar that had killed him. Without referring to a dictionary (although if I did it would be Collins), I feel I have a pretty firm grasp of what irony is. To use a dagger whose stated purpose was the destruction of Angmar to kill the Witch-King is not ironic at all.
The chief example of irony in LOTR, which Gimli kindly points out, is the use of an army of ghosts to defeat Sauron's allies, using the devices of the enemy against him as the dwarf says.
