here is another  thing that points to lucas  pathetic  writing. at the  start of episode 1  the opening crawl  says   TWO JEDI KNIGHTS  are dispatched  to handle the trade  dispute  and then only at the end is obi wan awarded  the title of JEDI KNIGHT.

 

and dont you  find it odd generial  grivious  caughs  considering he has NO LUNGS!

Now you're inventing nits to pick.

I don't know of any explanation officially from LucasFilm, but with a mere second and a half of thought, based only on WHAT IS IN THE FILMS, I have  answers to both.

  • Perhaps a Padawan learner IS a Jedi Knight, in the same way a kid with a learner's permit to drive IS a driver. Obi is also called a Jedi knight by the girl 3PO at the start of TPM. Being a Padawan is the preliminary starting rank of Jedi Knight, not as YOU assume, a separate and lower rank with a hard and clear distinction.

    OR
  • Perhaps it's normal to refer to active members of the Jedi Order as Jedi Knights in general, regardless of internal distinctions.


Regarding the General

  • I'm no expert in fictional xeno-biology, nor in hypothetical cybernetics (perhaps you are?), but given that Grievous has at least a head and a bag of organs I can at guess that he breaths to oxygenate these living tissues. So how about the cough is caused by some imperfection in wherever the organic breathing parts meet the mechanical parts. Or he has a cold.

 

Both of your complaints are example of YOU as a fan making up rules and then complaining that the movie doesn't follow it, rather than actually watching the movie.
