      Why not? If I wish that someone ignores something, that’s a valid wish IMO.

        Because they never say “wish”, they just issue commands.

          I dunno. If he told the djinn ‘Give me a nice car’ or ‘Make Trump eat a pile of dog poop’ in response to the offering of 3 wishes, that qualifies as a wish to me even though it doesn’t contain the word.

            But then the genie would simply fulfill your next three statements, rather than your next three wishes.
