house!
So what?
If I get into the yard, I can see my house too!

If I get into the yard, I can see my house too!
Actually, the above should read: "I too can see my house!"

I think it makes no difference, given the context. Am I correct?

Nope :-)
It's grammatically correct, but absolutely not idiomatic.

Yes, but that's not how people speak.  I would have said "I can see my
house too"

Isn't too the same as also?  Remember that post on the various
positions of the word "also" within a sentence? 
bye
ari

 for yours? Anyway, I just thought it was a neat google feature.
It's rather upsetting, isn't it?

Yeah, it's fascinating. I spent hours "walking" in New York City.
Sebastiano

 positions of the word "also" within a sentence?
No - the meaning's the same, but the position's different.
"Too" normally goes at the end of the sentence.
Unfortunately this does lead to ambiguity, because a sentence like "I
can see it from my yard too" could mean "lo vedo anche dal mio cortile"
o "anch'io lo vedo dal mio cortile" (o giardino nel caso degli
americani).

Scary, alarming. I sit in my garden, and they can see me throughout the

PS check your email.
Done. I replied a few hours ago.

Unless you are not unlawfully ugly, I guess it is.

Ma si' l'avevo capito.  Non e' che sono proprio cosi' scema.  That was
a  leading question.  I thought you were going to say something like:
P stands for phosphorus or P stands for the ratio of torque to force
when g is 0 (ok...I made that up!)  Te gh'hee capi?

Very funny Joe!
I am the one with the itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka dot

Yeah....Every move you make, every step you take, I'll be watching
you...

Groom Lake (which is a dry lake bed) is the little white circle at the
lower left of the map with a larger dark circle below it. If you try
and zoom in on Area 51 (the area between the white circle and the dark
circle), you get a message that says "We're sorry, but we don't have
imagery for this zoom level for this region." Hmmm, now I wonder why
that would be?
Joe from Massachusetts

It can be dangerous, my friend, it was you lucky day, ;)
Sebastiano

You can't zoom the whole region, not only that spot. And the pictures are
fuzzy. What a coincidence. They don't want us to see their alien butts. :D
Anyway, it's obvius you can't zoom on this kind of targets. You can't zoom
on the whitehouse either, it's like a giant nipple on NBC: blurred. :)

The same happens on some areas in Italy. 
I guess it's because there are military installations nearby.

I used to use this web page for aerial views of Italy, but it doesn't
seem to be working any more.

When I tried to look at the aerial view of the caserma in Vicenza
where I was stationed, I used to see just a black rectangle.
I wonder if anyone has located Clooney's house on Lake Como yet?

Is that your regular beach volleyball costume?
The Chinese Olympic Committee has announced that they will have a team
competing in the next summer Olympics, but they will not be wearing
the traditional California beach uniform, regarding it as being in
poor taste. I wonder what they'll wear? Overcoats? Or maybe a full
body suit, like the Olympic skiers wear? I'm sure the TV ratings will
go down, whatever they decide. :>)

You can zoom on Ground Zero, though.

Ambiguity?  Ma perche' non fate qualcosa a riguardo?  E' possibile che
bisogna sempre cercare di indovinare il significato?  Non so...formate
un comitato...non c'e' l'Accademia della Crusca in Inghilterra?...
Siamo stanchi di dover sempre indovinare  :-))   :-))  E dato che ci
siete, fate anche qualcosa a riguardo dell'ortografia che qui non si sa
mai come bisogna scrivere le parole! :-))  :-))

Già. Dopo esser andato dove avevo la camera a NY, la prima cosa che ho
"visitato" è stato il Ground Zero.

They are going to wear wet suit.  By the way, I was going to tell you
before I got sidetracked, that in Pacifica where I live, you will never
see anyone in a bikini.  However, you will see plenty of people in wet
suits.  It 's probably the coldest California coast town.

Once my wife and I took her parents on a vacation to California in
late May and early June. We stayed on the water as much as we could,
thinking California would be like Florida. At Lake Tahoe the water was
colder than Lake Garda. Bodega Bay seemed almost deserted. In Carmel
the surfers all wore wet suits and there were hardly any people on the
beach. Finally in Morro Bay the water seemed a little warmer, and the
beaches were full of people. We did get to drive down Route 1 and see
the Big Sur. We did see a lot of otters around Monterey, and a lot of
seals in San Francisco, but we didn't get to see an Orca eating a
seal, or even a Great White eating a surfer. Maybe next time, when the
weather is warmer.  :>)

"I, too, ..." is not so uncommon in writing, I'd say, but since it's not
usual it can't bear any fundamental difference. I suppose it's a matter of
style.

Yes, but it's very formal or poetic - you wouldn't hear it in ordinary

You're right, I always say "too" at the end of a sentence, if required.
