Default I couldn't agree with you more
Here's the rub. Please lend your ears!

I know the expression "I couldn't agree with you more." means "I totally agree with you!" Is it right that the subjunctive mood is used in the sentence, meaning "I totally agree with you, and how could I agree with you more than I agree now. I can't."

How about "I cannot agree with you more." I think this one sounds quite akward to me. Does it make any sense in any context?

Is "I couldn't agree with you anymore." grammartically correct and commonly used?

What's the shades of meaning of "I couldn't agree with you more." between "I absolutely agree with you?" When do you use "I couldn't agree with you more," rather than the latter? Just meaning-emphasis?

Thanks in advance!

Jay
