This is a very important point. Turtle makes triples (relationships and 
relations) expressed in RDF understandable. Mental operating and natural 
intuition are the fundamental strengths of Turtle. In the context of RDF 
model based Linked Data, its support for relative HTTP URIs also makes 
deployment a breeze.

I encourage you to publish Turtle (for everyone) and JSON-LD (for JSON 
programmers) at every opportunity, when uptake and comprehension are 
dual goals :-)
