Autocad 2011+ Turn Off That Grid

AutoCad: Don't like the new grid showing up in the background? Are you used to staring into the deep endless vapidness of Model space? Well then, Turn off that grid! I can't find the button, type 'GRID' into the command line, type 'OFF' and enter. Voilà, back to outer space for you! Also as a production value, it kept feeling like I was selecting linework that I didn't want to be selecting. A little disconcerting for people who are used to moving fast in CAD.
