To my uneducated ear "ironical" sounds just wrong, as does "problematic".

Euphony, at times, has much to commend it. And what's your grief with "problematic"?

ironical - (noun) a frequent article about something strange that happened in a small town eg Cat saved from tree, Man hugged by cat.......cat saved by man etc
A typical example of an Ironical is the NZ Herald which doesn't actually contain useful news.
Problematic - (verb) For something to have an issue, that will keep re-occurring and keep costing money, but will never be fixed properly (see "Bandaid-solution").
eg : the taxes are problematic.

It just sounds like a made-up word.
I can't explain it any better than that...maybe because English is my second language.
