As far as I know, its because of the difference when addressing male, female and a group of people.
Jazakallah = males
Jazakillah = females
Jazakumullah = a group of people

^ Masha'allah but there are some misspells in there though.
Fi Amanullah
by way of saying good-bye
Translation: May Allah protect you
It's supposed to be Fi Amanillah
Shukr Allahu sayikum uttered to people who attend aaza - when friends go to send condolences upon death of a person
Translation: May Allah accept that your effort
Correct way is : Shakar Allahu Sa'yikum
Rahmah Allah - Allah have Mercy on him - you see someone in distress
Correct spelling : Rahimahullah, the way it's spelt up there just means Mercy of Allah.
Atqaa Allah -fear Allah- you see someone doing a bad deed
Correct : Ittaqillah , the way it's spelt up there makes no sense whatsoever.
