Dear ÖbersterGrößterMeister,

❝ So, a question to you experts: How do you interpret the SE (of a mean or of something else)?

❝ ... I am solely asking about an interpretation of SE's for dummies.

There is a Wiley Series "XYZ for Dummies". Has also some books relating to statistics. May be that helps.

For me the Standard Deviation (AKA Standard error SE) is a measure of how variable measurements are.
The formula to calculate is easy: it is the square root of the Variance. So now ask: "What is the Variance?"

For more dummies explanation see here.
