> It may just be a game to you but, it means the world to us
The placement of that comma really irks me. Isn't "It may just be a game to you, but it means the world to us" the grammatically correct form? I'm somewhat surprised to see this in official communication from the Canadian Red Cross group.
I feel like I've seen this "post-but" comma more and more recently. I guess people feel like they would speak the sentence with a pause after the conjunction and therefore the comma goes there in writing.
Yep, that's what I would go with. I can't see a use case for a comma after the "but" in British nor American English.

Even this feels off to me when I read up to the "but" and then pause (as opposed to pausing on the "you").
