I am employed in an industrial supply company. The name, definition and uses for these items vary from region to region. Sometimes they are used interchangeably and thus the mix up as to which is which.
From your definitions, I am sorry to say that you may be incorrect.
If you check mywebsearch this may be cleared up better.

Irony. No one seems to know what it means and the right termonology. For example that song by Alanis Morsiette "Ironic". There was no irony in it what so ever. Just coincidences. The irony is that she made millions from that song without eing ironic at all. I think she even admitted this as well. Best double check.
