In a similar fashion to the way that even most professional writers I know have no idea when to use "whom" over "who" (leaving this matter of grammar entirely to the whim of their drunk editors) I'm pretty sure almost no one has a really good idea of what 'irony' actually is. Which is why it really is ironic (I'm guessing) that Alanis Morissette has defined the word for an entire generation of English speakers by getting the entire concept so completely, self-evidently wrong.
