And, again about "hundred", thank you to the colleges that have said 
that the word is writen most frecuently مائة to avoid the confusion with 
منه.

The mistake is not to write مائة nor مئة; but to pronounce it [ma'a] 
instead of [mi'a], with فتحة, following the writing form, which is an 
hypercorrection.
As well, some people pronounce [Asbania]/[Aspa:nya], and even write it 
(sic أسبانيا) and [Afri:qiya] instead of [Ifri:qiya]. But the correct 
words are with إ; not أ.

سلامي لكم من إسبانيا
