I see this observation a lot, and I think it's a good rule-of-thumb, but like all English there's gonna be many exceptions so "sounding like a maniac" is a bit much. I think you'll probably sound like a maniac if you use 13 adjectives to describe your Noun regardless

Yeah pretty much, he's definitely exaggerating for comic effect. I have the book that quote is from and it's a very entertaining read.

E: since it's not mentioned in the Twitter, the book is The Elements of Eloquence by Mark Forsyth
