In conversation, "do not" would normally be "don't" (unless "not" is emphasised: "I do not want to ...").
"anymore" is AmE; "any more" is BrE.

Thank you so much as usual and then how about
1] 'I couldn't agree with you more' VS. 2] 'I couldn't agree with you any more'
Is there a meaning difference?
The meaning of 1 is that 'I totally agree with you' and the meaning of 2 is the past version of 'I can't agree with you any more', which means 'I am not with you any more'?
What do you think?

GPY a hypothetical version.If the second one is a hypothetical version, does it mean the same as the first, which is "approval"?
I do not want to talk with you more. =[?] I do not want to talk with you any more.

Hans51If the second one is a hypothetical version, does it mean the same as the first, which is "approval"?I think I was thinking of something like "If you were to insist on that point, I couldn't agree with you any more", but I wouldn't worry too much about this one.
