adding lists term by term

When I type this:

{-(1/2),1}+{17/13,17/52}

I get:

Syntax::sntxf: "{-(1/2),1}+" cannot be followed by "{17/13,17/52}".

Syntax::sntxi: Incomplete expression; more input is needed.

But if I copy the example from the Mathematica help:

{a,b}+{c,d}

and replace the a,b,c,d with my numbers, it works and gives me an array 
added element by element.
Driving me crazy. What gives?
