How do you spell 800?

i was thinking that 800 is "thamaanii mi'ah" but there are many  
websites where they spell 800 as "thamaani mi'ah."
i searched ثماني مئة,  ثمان مئة, and so on last week by  
Google.
The followings are the results.

ثماني مئة = 839
276ثمان مئة = 0

58 = ثمانيمئة
ثمانمئة = 8730

ثماني مائة = 1160
6420 = ثمان مائة

  202 = ثمانيمائة
  64200 = ثمانمائة

A lot of the websites are spelling not ثماني but ثمان !
Why?
ثمان must be ثماني before muDaaf ilay-hi.

Thank you.
Haruko
