I don't think so. According to the online Merriam-Webster:              siú?rup       less common spelling of SYRUP              Collins online says       sirup       in British English              NOUN       US a less common spelling of syrup              And for interest, WidiDiff says:              Syrup is an alternative form of sirup.       As nouns the difference between syrup and sirup is that syrup is any       thick liquid that is added to or poured over food as a flavouring and       has a high sugar content also any viscous liquid while sirup is       (obsolete) a thick and viscid liquid made from the juice of fruits,       herbs, etc, boiled with sugar.                     So there! :-)              Cheers...
