She enters a ward full of patients, and notices that theyโre all dressed in street clothes and have no obvious sign of injury or illness. The Queen approaches a patient and greets him. The patient replies:
โMy heartโs in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heartโs in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer.โ
The Queen is confused, but smiles and moves on to greet the next patient. The patient responds:
โSome hae meat anโ canna eat, And some wad eat thaโ want it, But we hae meat anโ we can eat, so let the Lord be thankit.โ
Even more confused, and smiling even more broadly, the Queen moves on to the next patient who immediately begins to chant:
โMy love is like a red, red rose thatโs newly sprung in June; My love is like the melody thatโs sweetly played in tune.โ
Now very confused, the Queen turns to the accompanying doctor and asks, โIs this a psychiatric ward?โ
โNo, Your Majesty,โ replies the doctor. โThis is the serious Burns unit.โ
I'm teaching English in Korea and we were practicing the expression "how do you say X in Y" in class today.

Me - "I'm sorry."
Student - That's OK.
