"On Tuesday we're going to be making an announcement about some things coming up over the next couple of months, and it's some things we're looking for people to be involved with. It's some really exciting opportunities ... I won't tell you what it is, but I would say be on the lookout on our social media platforms, Email, blog posts, a variety of ways. Some big announcements. We've never done anything like it before. It's a significant thing that I think many of you will find interesting, and you will have insentives to interact with us in creative ways. it's going to be fun."
End of quote.
BH: Don't ask me what it is; I don't know.

Is it fair to use a homophone as part of a charade clue if, when the subword is put back into the solution, it is no longer a homophone?
