On which word does he say this? (Just so I can look it up.)

Since pretty much every havara has duplicates for some letter or vowel,
examples such as these are numerous.  "Hayom harath olam", in ashkenazis,
means "Today is the destruction of the world."  That doesn't mean
ashkenazim should start differentiation between saff and samech, since our
minhag/kabballah/traditional mistaken dialect does not differentiate, and
it is unclear which, if any, of those problems we can reverse.  (Which is
what this entire discussion is about.)
