@tegaton,
I am unsure what you think "literally correct" means--things are either correct or they are not. The phrase "i hope to seeing you" is not correct.

Is "I hope seeing you" correct? Grammatically correct but unnatural?

@tegaton,
Hi tegaton. Welcome to Able2know.

I hope to see you is the correct choice.

That's not true, pathfinder. But that's true of much of what you write.

@tegaton,
It can be either "I hope to see you" or "I hope to be seeing you." Either of those is correct. "I hope to seeing you" is incorrect because the main verb "to see" needs the auxiliary verb "to be" added.
