I wish I was, I wish I were
What's the difference between "I wish I was" and "I wish I were"?
Why use one over the other? Are they the same? Thank you in advance.

'was' is probably more common in Britain than in North America though both are used in both regions. 'were' is considered the more formal form for purposes of writing English exams. The meaning is the same.
