Grammar
I wish everyone have a nice day.
Hello.
What grammar is used in that sentence? I know we can say I wish you something, I wish you had something but I've never come across I wish smb. + verb in the present. Maybe it should be this way: I wish everyone to have nice every day ?

The wording of your sentence is quite awkward (at best), and I would agree it is ungrammatical. It would be better without the verb 'have' at all:
- I wish everyone a nice day.
It would also be OK with 'to have', but I would not expect that to be as commonly used.
And, of course, 'I hope everyone has a nice day' would also be a good way to express that idea.
