"...too"

Am I correct that it's incorrect to say 'I only know very little about that too'?

Thanks

I only know very little about that too = that is another subject that I know very little about.
I too ['also' sounds better to my ear] know very little about that = I am another person who knows very little about...

When modifying with only and also, the modifying word should go as close the the word as possible, to avoid confusion.

Hi PBF

The use of 'too' is OK, and I would not call the sentence "incorrect". However, I'd also say that the construction of this particular sentence is not one that you're likely to hear terribly often.
