I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out.
Proceed, with fingers crossed.

Hi!
You are not in math mode.

Well, I tried \m{\frac{1}{2}} and got the same error. So to produce an MWE I cut the \m{} out. :-)
But now I've exited and restarted TexShop it's working - so I assume it must have been TeXShop being a bit confused and not using the updated source.
Sorry for the noise.
