Tool time!
The phrase that immediately comes to mind is "poner la mesa." It translates from Spanish as "to set the table" but literally means "to put the table." Similarly, one might take photos with a camera, but the literal meaning of the Spanish phrase "sacar photos" is "to remove photos."
Linguistically and colloquially (the latter lending more to your example of adding cheese to something), we often use weird verbs in specific contexts.
What you've described might not fall into the category of proper grammar, but it also doesn't come across as strange or unexpected.
There are also unspoken rules about the ordering of adjectives to ~~blindly follow~~ follow blindly.
Edit to add: Proper, verbose grammar is also not usually necessary or even useful in the context of directions/commands, particularly in lists of such. Sure, "add cheese" would probably make a technical writer happier, but the point still gets across.
The context is important as well:
"What toppings do you put on your burgers?"
"I put cheese."
The viewscreen in in Boimler's hotel room is very suspiciously familiar, but can't quite put my finger on it.

Both, at the same time. It's hard to explain.
Lately, jq
It used to be totally free. Glancing at the reviews, many people were very upset when they switched to a $4.99 monthly subscription model.
They did crowdsource the data (they have a companion app where they will pay you per property map). And as a result, they don't have information about every single complex. But I have found the data that is available has been invaluable to me in time savings.
The app also defaults to HERE maps (with Google maps as an option), and some people don't seem to like those.
Or they don't, but 23rd century medicine isn't sophisticated enough to detect/understand the damage.
