What would be the difference? (2) A: Did you fail the test? B: I hope not. My question: How about "I wish I didn't" ? Do they sound the same?

You could use it here: I don't know him personally. I wish I did! Lcchang “How about "I wish I didn't" ? Do they sound the same?” Again, I wish I didn'tn is the wrong phrase for this situation.
