Hello: The only alternative instruction I've seen for "yarn overs" is "yarn round needle".
The "make 1" thing is a matter of preference. There are left slanted make ones, right slanted make ones, knit one front and back of stitch, knitting below the stitch and on and on. If the pattern doesn't specify I usually fool around with them in a larger than usual swatch to see what happens. I like to balance the slanted ones in a pattern if possible or avoid the bars you get with some of the increases. I find Interweave knits a good source for simple instructions on how to do all the variations of "make one". They have a handy Knitters Companion. Even the how tos in the back of the magazine are great. The appearance of my kntting (both lace and otherwise) has really improved since I started paying more attention to increases and decreases.
