Hyphenation issues in English UK

Question

I have my paragraph styles set to English UK, and the hyphenation seems to be wrong in several places.

From other posts found here, I checked that the hyphenation is indeed wrong in ID and that the only solution woud be to manually edit the user's dictionary. But is that so?

Look at this:

The word "epicentre" should be "epi-cen-tre", which I can get to if I change the hyphenation rules to be after the first 3 letters instead of 2, but is that the solution? The word "composers" should be spelled "com-po-sers" even if the spelling check on one website gives me "com-pos-ers".

What should a user do in general when things like this happen?

What should I do in this particular case?

Thank you

PS: modulation is given as mod-u-la-tion. The Italian word for this is "modulazione", with syllabication mo-du-la-zio-ne. What's wrong with English? 🙂
