Dafuq is wrong with you ppl? Yes, there are some minor mistakes, but they're all typing ones and really rare. The use of different phrases isn't a mistake. It's been said many times before that "call around" can be used in many cases. I know reading books isn't for everyone (i myself hate it since was a child), but in novels this exact phrase is used quite a lot. They use it also in movies, which are adaptations of the said novels. Even Mythbusters used it often in their show when someone from the cast explained they were about to search for something and will be calling different stores and locations to find it. I remember there was a similar discussion in some other game, where the dev used "bla bla bla smth smth smth i can get coming your way" (can't quote the exact phrase) and people couldn't get the meaning. There's ton of idioms and phrases which can be used to enrich the narrative and it's all up to the author/developer. Unless you are an English Major please try restrain yourself from posting criticism about the writing style. Next time if some phrase isn't familiar to you, instead of criticizing the author, go google it. You might learn something new and improve your language skills. Don't be like Drax - "Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast."
P.S.
Here's a top tip: if you wanna learn new words and forms of expressions (but like me hate books or you just don't have time for them), just watch interviews or read articles from Jeremy Clarkson. The guy does have a strong opinion, but he pays quite a lot of attention to his words. Many of his columns and in fact the script for The Grand Tour are filled with idioms and all kinds of rare expressions.
