Poor wording

[Mark Polyakov]

"As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise."

As a native English speaker, this sentence sounds very unnatural. It is a "dangling modifier" (or similar); it sounds like the prediction you made was that the outcome would not be a surprise. But in fact you're trying to say that you predicted the outcome.

Better alternatives include:

• "This outcome does not come as a surprise."
• "This outcome agrees with my earlier prediction."
• "Seeing as it agrees with my earlier prediction, this outcome is not a surprise."
