Need OCG Wording Help

I have a series of synchro monsters that special summon their tuner monster when it is synchro summoned (a mandatory effect). I have some concerns regarding the wording. The format for the wording is as follows:

 

When this card is Synchro Summoned, Special Summon 1 “monster name” from your Graveyard. The Special Summoned “monster name” cannot declare an attack or be selected as an attack target. Return this card to its owner’s Extra Deck, if you do not control an “monster name” during the End Phase. Once per turn, during your Main Phase you can remove 1 "counter name" from an “monster name” you control and put it on this card (max "x").

 

The fact that I've said or implies that it's either this effect or this effect. I want to imply that both effects are in place and simply putting an "and" instead of where the "or" is sounds quite awkward.

 

I've tweaked the wording to come up with this alternative but it sounds very long and I need to know if there is a better way to word or a way to make it sound shorter while still making it sound official.

 

When this card is Synchro Summoned, Special Summon 1 “monster name” from your Graveyard. Your opponent cannot select the Special Summoned “monster name” as an attack target and the Special Summoned “monster name” cannot declare an attack.

 

Now when I say monster name it is the specific tuner that synchro summoned it. Each synchro summon in this set has a specific tuner like how junk warrior needs junk synchron. Is it possible to say "Your opponent cannot select the Special Summoned monster as an attack target and the Special Summoned monster cannot declare an attack" since I declared that the Special Summoned monsters name in the previous sentence or do I need to keep the Special Summoned monsters name in it for consistency purposes? Is it possible to shorten the wording of this? or should I tack on "While you control this monster, ...." at the beginning of the sentence.

 

Next Question:

Once per turn, during your Main Phase you can remove 1 "counter name" from an “monster name here” you control and put it on this card (max 'x').

 

Does "put it on this card" sound right or is there a better way to word this? I'm not entirely sure.

 

Next Question:

 

What's the official card wording for counters when they are being placed on a card? I noticed in most cards they say "....put 1 counter on this card" but then I noticed that Six Samurai United says "...place 1 Bushido Counter...". So is the new card terminology for counters going to be "place" or is it still "put"

 

Also, is there a way to get bullets to show up on a card in YCM? It doesn't seem to like the bullets from MS Word and it doesn't like bullets you copied and paste from the forum or other sites.

 

I will award 1 rep for each correction that I use in my set.
