If you want to communicate in English, the smart thing to do would be to take note when people don't get your meaning because of your choice of words, and try to choose the words that would put across what you mean. If you don't want to communicate in English, of course, that's your privilege, but then one wonders why you would bother learning the language.

Also like how some guy changes the Convo from him saying Kiprusoff is retired to my use of the word "rumour". Still can't see anything saying Kiprusoff is officially retire yet though.

Kiprusoff has told the (Finnish) press he is retiring. That doesn't need to be official. Filing the papers is only a formality. Evidently he is in no hurry to do it, probably because he's on vacation and has nothing to lose by waiting till September.
As I pointed out earlier, being retired from hockey is not an official status. Filing retirement papers is, but it is not the same thing. Kovalchuk filed retirement papers, but is going to keep playing in the KHL. Kiprusoff did not file retirement papers, but he has announced that he isn't going to play anymore. Which of the two is retired? According to your thinking, it's Kovalchuk — but he only filed those papers to get out of his NHL contract. Common sense says it's Kiprusoff.
