   Things have changed since 1913 -- the year of the classic edition   
   of M.-W, which I had the honor of consulting.

   > 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

   Although based on an accidental spelling variation, the distinction   
   is quite useful, c.f. `compliment' and `complement', or `flower'   
   and 'fluor'...
